As the nights draw in, come and hear about Manchester’s lost graveyards from industrial archaeologist Steve Little.About this Event
Unlike the image of gravestones aloft, there are many unmarked graves under our feet in Manchester. There is little recognition of the lost graveyards and the long buried dead people, who were pushed out by the city's rapid growth in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In this talk Steve places the lost dead in the context of the resurrection men, the Anatomy Act and how the population of Manchester changed over a dynamic 150 years. Begin your Halloween weekend with some history of the dead and burials!
