Also featuring The Nico Ditch :-
Nico Ditch, constructed sometime between the Roman withdrawal from Britain and the Norman Conquest (possibly in the 7th Century as a boundary for the expansionist Anglo-Saxons, or in the late 8th or early 9th Century as a boundary marker between the Kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria.) The purpose of Nico Ditch is unclear; it may have been used as a defensive fortification or as an administrative boundary. Regardless of its earlier use, the ditch has been used as a boundary since at least the medieval period, and legend has it that Nico Ditch was completed in a single night by the inhabitants of Manchester as a protection against Viking invaders in 869-870. Each man had a set area of the ditch to construct and was required to dig the ditch and build a bank equal to his own height.

I have never seen a ditch with water in a cemetery ever
That was interesting ,I was looking for my grandad he is buried with his mum in the Jewish side of Gordon cemetery, he has very green stones on his grave like jewels and I’ve not seen it since I was about 10 yr old his name is Joseph Hesketh I think he had a family printing business .. I found the plot number on line under Gordon cemetery….if anyone see s it please let me know as I’m now 62 and moved when I was only 5 to Blackpool and I’m the last of the family my names Joseph …… IDE love to see it again as I’m now house bound disabled…… I would like to be buried there but it’s financially not possible …. He died a round 1963 …… It was nice to see this a big surprise…….i was born in Gordon in 1961 on national race day and the nurse who took care of me had won and wanted to name me after the horse LOL…..
