Hundreds of tunnels and shafts traverse the underworld; some possibly go back beyond the Romans and the earth certainly moves for some. Anyone remember the cave on Ormrod Street in the late 60s or early 70s. Things like this must have occurred hundreds of time over the centuries.

All of this and more will have had an affect on the graves of our Ancestors. Its what we do to establish what’s left that is of importance now.[/quote]
Talking of tunnels, there used to be one that ran from the Black Bull pub (now the entrance to Arndale car park) up to the Police station, as in the old days it was used to take prisoners to court.

I also remember the grave yard opposite what is McDonalds now but we used to call it Broughtons. It was very unkempt and kids used to play in it.
