Mass Grave in Old Swan

[Gnomie]

Just been reading a piece by some Mancunian /Irish git. Who reckons that the Mass graves were of Irish Immigrants fleeing from the Potato Famine. He reckons the children were taken away and then the sick adults were put in camps in Old Swan and then later taken to the grave site and shot. What a load of SH**. Typical bloody rebel rousing fanatical crap, mind you what else would you expect from a Mancunian. He wrote it in the Manchester Irish broadsheet. Bloody Rag ought to be burnt.

There was a rumour that the grave contained bodies poor Irish settlers. though im sure they would have just dug a hole for them and tossed them in giving little thought to any care.

St James cemetery next to St Georges hall had to be cleared for the new construction of the gardens. this would make sense as if they had to move so many bodies in coffins then an area like Old Swan could accomodate them. but i guess we will never know the real reason.

still it puts food on Slemens table all this guessing
