A CANNABIS farm was discovered at the site of a former funeral parlour on Thursday.

The Atherton, Tyldesley and Astley police neighbourhood team carried out a warrant on Thursday, December 5, and found cannabis plants in two large rooms upstairs.

Officers have not revealed the name of the street that the building is on but said they found two large rooms upstairs full of cannabis plants, a drying room and two nurseries.

A number of other goods were found at the scene as well.

In a post on Facebook, a police spokesman said: "The building used to be a funeral parlour years ago, there were two large rooms upstairs full of fully grown cannabis plants, a drying room whereby bud was already hung up, two nurseries, bags and large tubs of bud waiting to hit the streets to be sold."
