Guided Tour of Weaste Cemetery on 15th October 2009

It was cold, but it was fine for the few brave souls who supported our final guided tour for 2009.
The graves are: William Whitelegg Goulden, Solicitor and staunch ally of the radical Anglican Vicar Hugh Stowell (whose memorial church steeple is at the end of the M602 motorway). Edwin Jordan, Manufacturing Chemist, who was born at Oak Hall, Cross Lane. The site was to become Salford Cattle Market and then Windsor High School.
