[[File:20250329 101546~2.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |Southern Cemetry]] [[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Other]] ==Relevance== Burial place of [[Mention::Andy Rourke]].<br> A young Morrissey was known to spend time in the cemetery and it is cited as inspiration for [[Mention::Cemetry Gates]] (also known as a burial location of notable Mancunian figures).<br> From [[Mention::Autobiography]]: <blockquote> Crime historians would later name Rye Street as having been patrolled by Hindley and Brady, and although Billy had escaped them, his remains now lay in Southern Cemetery (close to those of Ernie and Grandad), beneath a featureless stone inscribed Our Billy. Years on, there is no one left for whom Billy is ‘ours’, and the only flowers frequently left at his grave are from me. </blockquote> And: <blockquote> The soul is said to be somewhere, but the soul has only ever been visible through the eyes. It is the body that we know of someone, yet the body is the husk lowered into the earth of tatty Southern Cemetery when we are told that the body is ‘not really’ or ‘no longer’ Nannie. But it is. </blockquote> <gallery> File:20250329 101543.jpg|[https://x.com/danwrightmanc/status/1905295912563245482 Andy Rourke's headstone (source)] </gallery>
