The cemetery, …..doing the essential walk and making it historic .... no. 3

I have cheated here, because this was really party of Andy's second walk, but the small cemetery by Hawthorn Road on the way to Stretford is a wonderful place and deserves a story to itself.

I first discovered it in the company of my old friend Dave Bishop in 2010, when we walked the Old Road.*

Amongst the graves are those of a group of paupers.

Location; Stretford
