Cemetery Description: Earliest burial in about 1878. Acquired by the (North) Manchester Spanish & Portuguese Jews Congregation and shared from 1891 with the Manchester New Synagogue, with a separate Whitefield Synagogue Section from 1959. Manchester Burial Society of Polish Jews Ltd., later Manchester Jewish Burial Society Ltd was formed in 1877, the society (a registered limited company) offered burial rights to shareholders whatever their synagogue allegiance. It was founded and controlled by immigrants and in effect served chevroth without burial grounds of their own. It appears to have used Urmston Cemetery.
