About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

In the 19th century the Angel Meadow slum area was known as ‘Hell on Earth'. Located north of the city centre of Manchester, on the site of the former St. Michael's Church. The land adjacent to the church became the largest cemetery in Manchester, used for the interment of those who were too poor to afford a funeral. Between 1788-1816 it was reported that 40,000 bodies had been buried there. The cemetery was closed in 1854 and the church was demolished in 1935. Regeneration of the area has now taken place and St. Michael's Flags & Angel Meadow Park is a peaceful and beautiful area for the local people to enjoy. The ‘Flags' refer to the flagstones which were used to cover the graves in 1855 due to the deteriorating conditions of the cemetery.
