Prestwich

Prestwich is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, in Greater Manchester. It lies close to the River Irwell, is 3.3 miles north of Manchester city centre and has a population of over 30,000.

Olive Clarke, the widow of Percy Sugden's old army pal Nobby lived in the town and he visited her there in March and April 1993 after his old pal's death.

In January 2001, Les Battersby thought his taxi fare wanted to go to Prestwich but the required destination was actually Prestwick in Scotland while in October 2005 kennel maid Molly Compton' services was called on by the owner of a disturbed miniature Schnauzer who lived in the town. Finally, in August 2006 Steve McDonald almost had his first meeting with Ryan Connor at an athletics club in Prestwich when the boy's mother Michelle asked him to pick her son up, only to find when he got there that he'd already left and made his own way home.
