I 've read this thread with great interest. The walk sounds fascinating. Have n't been to manchester for a few years.. In respect to cemetries when they decide to remove remains, I live in some flats opposite where there were more flats built oposite where i live. The graves were dug up and remains cremated and there is a plque in the local parish church graveyard to say that is the case. Well i knew what was happening and there is supposed to to be screens so high that you don't notice on a double decker bus or so i am told. I got up one morning (i'm a a top floor 3 storey block) looked over and saw a pile of teak type coffins, also black plastic bags. I wonder how many know about it now, some are rented and some are bought flats.
