The Wilton, Prestwich

Bury New Road, Prestwich.

The pub is now called The Priest's Retreat; it used to be called The Wilton and put on bands - Night Visitors played there a few times in 1980 - it was walking distance from Graveyard Studios.

“I was a regular there every weekend from 1974-1978,the low lifes returned after Mike Daly left so the place wasnt for me,but it did seem thee place to meet up,a good Juke Box as well although changing TheBoys are Back in Town for Mississippi was unforgiveable.”
