Located north of the city centre of Manchester, on the site of the former St. Michael's Church. The land adjacent to the church became the largest cemetery in Manchester, used for the interment of those who were too poor to afford a funeral.

Regeneration of the area has now taken place and St. Michael's Flags & Angel Meadow Park is a peaceful and beautiful area for the local people to enjoy. The ‘Flags' refer to the flagstones which were used to cover the graves in 1855 due to the deteriorating conditions of the cemetery.
