A mass grave containing more than 300 bodies has been discovered in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
An unmarked mass grave with over 300 bodies has been discovered in Oldham, sending shockwaves through the local community. The site, found within Royton Cemetery, includes the remains of 145 stillborn children, 128 infants and young children, and 29 adults, as confirmed by local councillors.
This distressing discovery comes on the heels of another mass grave unearthed earlier this year in The Wirral. There, 79-year-old Gina Jacobs finally located her stillborn son after a 53-year quest. Bereaved parents were often told by medical staff that their child would be buried next to "a nice person" also being interred that day, usually without the opportunity for the parents to say goodbye. In reality, these babies were placed in communal graves.
