Myself and Mike went for a walk round Boggart Hole Clough once, it was very good, Mike has a lot to say and most of it very very funny, anyway we decided to do it again some time so last November we met up in Harpurhey Cemetery, mainly to find the grave of Sgt Brett, the policeman killed by the mob during the infamous smashing of the van on Hyde Road, which gave rise to the Manchester Martyrs.

After complaining to the chief Constable of Manchester the stone was turned back over and placed on the grave…I have wrote a short free ebook story of this police Officer, it can be downloaded for free from here (Sergeant Charles Brett.pdf) http://www.sendspace.com/file/awd6rq
