St Philip's Cemetery:
Opened 1866
Manchesters first municipal cemetery
Covers 19 hectares
Awarded a green flag in 2010
A builder had purchased two of the three churches in St Philip's Cemetery, near Manchester City Stadium. He was in the process of renovating the structures, ready to turn them into family homes, but kindly allowed me in to take photographs. I accessed the third, completely derelict church myself.
I liked the idea of these churches being renovated, rather than left to decay beyond repair.
