Burial vaults below a car parkSourced
A car park covered an old church site.
Builders found about 190 burials below.
After New York's Spring Street Presbyterian Church closed, a car park was built over its burial vaults. Construction work in 2006 rediscovered the remains of around 190 people, who were moved to a cemetery in Brooklyn.
A city can forget
what lies under its streets.
