Blackley Cemetery

[2] Until 2022, the crematory area of the crematorium was equipped with three 'Newton'-model cremators, installed by the Furnace Construction Co. Ltd. of Hyde, Cheshire.

The cemetery was, at one time, well known for having problems with drainage, with surface water being problematic during burials and visitation to grave sites.

The city has worked to rectify this situation in recent years, with the installation of ground drainage schemes being completed in 2009.

[citation needed] Buried here in the Non-Conformist section is Ethel Carnie Holdsworth (1886–1962), working-class writer, feminist, and socialist activist.

[9] The grave of Corporal Clifford Haughton, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and his wife and children stands in the cemetery.
