Train Guard Folklore: Odd pub names (412* d) RE: Folklore: Odd pub names 16 Jan 03


The Prestwich pub is a combination of the names of two former pubs. One was called the Railway, and probably originated round about 1879 when the railway through Prestwich was being built. The other would have been the headquarters of the amateur (working class) naturalists who visited Prestwich Clough (an attractive wooded area that still exists) in the late nineteenth century.
