Liverpool Necropolis - Grant Gardens
Due to the expansion of the port of Liverpool in the early 18th century Liverpool Necropolis (Low Hill Cemetery) was opened 1825, at the corner of Everton Road and West Derby Road (formerly Rake Lane). Designed by Architect John Foster Jr.at a cost of £8,000, the much needed cemetery was rapidly filled in the following 70 years with 80,000 burials. It was closed to burials in 1898 and in 1913 the lodges, gates & walls were demolished, monuments and large gravestones removed and the area landscaped.
Grant Gardens were opened by Alderman J R Grant in 1914.

Grant Gardens, Liverpool
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.

Brougham Terrace, West Derby Road, Liverpool
Georgian elegance and refined proportions shine through even the most peeling facade I think I have ever seen. Built c1830 by J.A. Picton, it once boasted twelve houses. Grade II listed.
The listing states that from 1887 it is believed to have housed England's first mosque. The neighbouring building may still be a mosque, but this looks in desperate need of several licks of paint.
