Well having almost exhausted the collection of images on Chorlton in the 1980s, I think it’s time to wander back another decade.
We are in the parish graveyard in 1976 and I have to say despite walking through the place many times I have no recollection of it looking like this.
And I pretend to be a historian.
Still looking back through the back catalogue the place was like this in the 1970s and as you would expect plenty more from before.
So I shall leave you with Lois’s picture of the graveyard just before it was cleared and landscaped, but if you want more follow the link.*
