    Thanks Marky. That's actually how we found it, using Google Earth.
    We had read about it in a book and located it on the map.
    Facinating stuff!

    Thanks very much for that Google Earth site, Marky.
    I've managed to find the old family home on my father's side in Oxfordshire.
    Somebody did kindly send me a link, but I couldn't get it to work.

    Very interesting stuff Daisy. Nice work. I especially like the shot looking past the gate up the corpse lane toward the burial ground.

    I'm sure the turnstile in question leads to the cemetery rather than the old hospital. Perhaps there are two? Or else, maybe you have to pass through a part of the cemetery to get to the hospital?

    There was only the one entrance to the burial ground from Arundel Avenue.
    The burial ground is very small - actually smaller than the Quaker's Meeting House which was next to it.

    Yes sorry, I meant that the turnstile leads to Smithdown cemetery rather than the Quaker burial ground.

    Here are the turnstiles in Arundel Avenue.
    The first photo is the one for Toxteth Cemetery and the second one to what remains of Sefton General.

    Ah right, I've never seen the Sefton General one before.

    Cheers Philip
