Phillips Park, East Manchester


I recently went on a bike ride, ending up in Phillips Park, where I'd never been before. It is attached to an old cemetery. As I pushed my bike around it, I was the only person there, in a vast space of grass and gravestones. There is an amazing, quite ruined chapel there too, that has a bronze plaque commemorating the Boer War set into one of its walls. The rafters of the church are visible from outside, and have plants growing through them, and birds nesting. I'll endeavor to take some photos there next week. The park is the space just to the bottom-right of this photocopy of a map...

there's a picture of the park here: http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ewm/ic3/77.html
