Mass Grave in Old Swan

[Tooth]

Hi Philip and Stan

Ken Williams, the retired principal environmental health office who was in charge of disposing of the bodies, states that it was 1973 that the remains were first discovered, so there is no doubt about the year. See

There were graves discovered and exhumed in 1973 but only on part of the site. The work was left for several years and further graves were found when it re-commenced which would account for people remembering the incident as being later than 1973. This is all explained in Derek Whales Lost Villages Of Liverpool. It always helps to consider first hand experience instead of discounting it if it doesn't fit in with previous statements.
