Whether you’d feel comfortable living just yards from one of the biggest graveyards in Greater Manchester all boils down to superstition.
Some people may find it scary or unsettling. Others might see it as quiet or peaceful. But for those living on one street in Blackley, most aren’t phased by their late neighbours – despite spotting some spooky sightings over the years.
Just off Colindale Avenue is Blackley Jewish Cemetery. The graveyard dates back to 1897 when it was acquired by the Central Synagogue and was later used by the North Manchester Synagogue. The two eventually merged in 1978.
