Anfield Cemetery

[steveb]

I logged-on a few times this morning to see if any times had been posted. I wasn't sure if it was a definate arrangement for today.

Pity 'cos the weather was so nice too. I wouldn't have come out if it was raining ! ha!

Those catacombs - I remember when they were in much better condition. I don't think there's much of them left to see now ! They have deteriorated terrible over the years, mainly due to vandalism.

Yes was nice today. If you look at my site you will see what
the catacombs looked like 10 years ago, and what they look
like today. Not so much vandslism, just the fact that the council
won't do anything, they havn't applied for any funding from
either English Heritage or the Lottery heritage fund. Iam in
regular contact with EH so I know what is or isn't happening

I'm chasing my wife's ancestors (anything to annoy them :-) and have an email in to the cemeteries department right now asking for the location of a couple of Anfield graves. Maybe, seeing as how helpful you guys are, I should've come straight here!

Is it morbid to admit I like wandering around cemeteries?

(First post, so hello everyone, by the way)
