What is recorded here

This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: This plaque marks the location of the former Walkers Croft Cemetery, which opened in 1815 and closed in 1832 in preparation for the coming of the railway. Remains recovered in rebuilding work in January 2010 have been removed and interred in Southern Cemetery, Manchester.

Walkers Croft Cemetery served as a burial ground from 1815 to 1832 before its closure due to railway construction; it is remembered for its historical role in the local community's burial practices during the early 19th century.
