Service to be held for babies found in "mass grave"

Available for over a year

Service to be held for the families of babies found in a mass burial site in Oldham. From the 1950s to 1980s, bereaved parents were told their children would be buried with a "nice person" in an adult grave, but instead the bodies were placed in cardboard boxes and put into unmarked plots. Independent Oldham Councillor Maggie Hurley tells BBC Radio Manchester more about it.
