Angel Meadow and St Michael's Flags
Situated in Manchester's Northern Quarter, not far from the Cathedral, this pleasant green area has an interesting history, told on information boards around the site. Once the site of a church, a pauper's/plague burial ground and, reputedly, Manchester's worst slums. An estimated 40,000 bodies were buried here between 1787 and 1816. Some details here: Link
