Police have confirmed human remains were discovered on King Street West in Edgeley on Saturday afternoon.

They have 'likely been there for a considerable amount time' Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

They were discovered by workers at gas company Cadent, the Express has now learned.

They were digging down into a section of the pavement on King Street West close to Our Lady's Catholic Primary School as they are upgrading and repositioning gas pipes in the area as part of the Greek Street bridge replacement.
