Mass graves discovered in Greater Manchester

Available for over a year

People in Greater Manchester, and beyond, who've spent decades not knowing where their loved ones are buried are now trying to find their graves. This comes after a mass burial ground was found in Royton Cemetery, in Oldham, containing 145 stillborn children, 128 babies and young children, and 29 adults. The mass grave was discovered when councillor Maggie Hurley tried to help a woman searching for the graves of her brothers, who were twins born in 1962.
