Thankyou very much MancsMan, I know exactly where it is now.The street in front of Charter St Mission is Nelson St. Ashley Lane is to the Rt with the burial ground wall just showing .St Michael`s Sq faced the end of the plot.
I love this area and although my family were from a little way away,nearer St Catherine`s church , Bronze St and Worth St ,I love to wander about that area but have not been down for a number of years. Glad something is being done to perhaps save some evidence of how many of our ancestors lived. The saying " We don`t know we are born " seems apt.

Can't get down to Manchester today unfortunately, but it looks like a great project.  :D

My 'ancestral home' is now under the flats on the corner of Angel St and Style St, so very interested to see how this work progresses

I think that is it for the dig, just them 3 cellars, the site is due to be built on by the Coop. But a permanent exhibition will be in there new building on Miller Street.

The film crew that were there are making a eight part series on Britain to celebrate the Queens 60th year on the throne.

If I find out when it is on I will update this posting.
