Lancashire / St Johns Churh Bolton Rd the Height. Missing Gravestones
« on: Saturday 07 July 18 01:11 BST (UK) »
When I first started my family history search in the 1990s I used various FH Sites/Forums and on one someone wrote that in the late 1960s/early 1970s the River Irwell was Diverted and the loop at the top St Simon Steet cut out, whilst this work was taking place a large number of grave stones were found in the river and that they all came from St Johns Churh Bolton Rd the Height,Salford. not realising at that time how many of my relatives are buried there.
After many online searches I cannot find which forum it was or anything online related to the removal of the grave stones.
Can anyone help, What I would like to know is were records of the stones taken after finding them or any photos taken and who autherised the removal
