Re: union street.
Think your graveyard was called Macphelah;remember seeing an ancient photo of sheep grazing on it prior to being taken to nearby abattoir.I remember the graveyard being there and remains being removed when work started there.

Re: union street.
The Machpela Graveyard was on Hyndburn Rd, or as it was known when the Baptist Chapel was there as Allom Lane. That site was known to those who worshiped there as "Gods Little Acre". They originally came from the Rossendale Valley back in the 1700's, they then moved to Clayton. Their last place of worship was Cannon St Baptist.
