The Cemetery was laid out in open countryside well away from the City of Liverpool.
By the 1920s all this was to change, building work started on the surrounding farmland to accommodate people from the dreadful slum conditions.
Norris Green, Sparrow Hall, and Croxteth housing Estates where named after large mansion houses dotted around the area.
I visited the cemetery in October for the first time in ages, after walking past the site of the old chapel I came up-on what looked like wholesale vandalism, headstones had been pushed over or so I thought, looking closer I noticed red labels had been attached explaining; headstones over three foot in height and deemed unsafe would be laid flat to make them safe.
This action by Liverpool City Council has prompted me into photographing and transcribing the headstones for posterity before they are removed forever.
