Hi fellow SHs

In the not so distant past when they widened St Marys Gate they had to dig up part of the grave yard to accommodate the road and i cant find any reference to it on the Internet yet i can recall a lot of fuss at the time, plus looking at the aerial photos its amazing to the amount of changes like were did all the houses go.

The main exhumations occurred in 1978, do not quote me, but I believe that the remains were reinterred in one of the disused catacombs in the General Cemetery, I am sure one of the Friends of The Gen Cem will let us know :rolleyes:
