Grant Gardens is a park on the site of a former cemetery (Liverpool Necropolis/Low Hill Cemetery). The Necropolis opened in 1825 but was closed by the council in 1898 because of unsanitary conditions spreading to surrounding neighbourhoods (Grant Gardens. (2022, October 19). In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Gardens ) as it was nearing its full capacity of 80,000 burials. It was reopened as a public park in 1914; memorials and structures above ground have been removed, the graves themselves are intact.
