The First Municipal Grave Yard for Manchester Area.
In 1830 a law was passed that municipal graveyards had to be provided
and had to be opened to all denominations. So
this was
one of the first.
We have photograph of the Registrar Cottage at the gates of the
cemetery

The Chill Factor
A Ski lift up to the top of the slope all you have
to do
is
pop the
small seat between your legs
and you get pulled up.
The Chill Factor was built about 2 years ago near the
Trafford Centre.
A great place for all the family.
Its nearly minus 2 with real snow.
