Some Strange Things along the Ship Canal Bank.

All Saints Church 1986-91 Restored. Taken over by

Franciscan Order. The restoration cost over 1 million pounds

In St Catherine's Grave Yard there is the Grave Stone of the man who helped to oversee the building of the Manchester Ship Canal. A Mr Stevens. He was also the managing director of the Trafford Park Estates, which became one e largest Industrial Estate in the World. St Catherines Church was demolished 1976

This strange sign is self explanatory. The grave yard is in bad condition.

Also on the canal bank there is an old Victorian grave yard attached to St Catherine's Church demolished in 1976 among the fallen graves, there was this War Grave of a Canadian Soldier who died and is buried somewhere in the grave yard. Did his family come back to look for his grave and decide to remember him with a new stone?








This is mounted on the Ship Canal Bank. Puzzles me. what was it and what was it used for. Has any body any Idea? If so you can contact me by comments.
