My "usborne guide to jography" instinct tells me that a city did traditionally used to be by definition a dwelling with a cathedral. Over the years size of population dictated, and then there was this royal charter to grant a number of status's (or statii) a year.
For what it's worth, and to partly answer Bruce's question - though I suspect he knows the answer, I'm not sure Preston has got anything different to us since it was classed as a city. Apart from some new fancy signs.
Sounds like a load of balls to me
