Staff of Life, Rainsough Brow, Prestwich. (c) David Rowlinson [1].
The original Staff of Life on Rainsough Brow dates back to about 1860, when a shop and a cottage in the six Mount View cottages next to the Rainsough Workhouse opened as a beerhouse. Taylor's Eagle Brewery of Chorlton took over the Staff of Life in 1898, adding a bay window in the 1920s, and it passed to Marston's Brewery in 1958.

Marstons demolished the old pub in 1973 [1], and rebuilt the Staff of Life in the estate pub style on the site of the Rainsough Workhouse. This blighted boozer has recently been pulled down itself.
