I`ve been on a Ranger tour of Toxteth Cemetery,it was definitely Grant Gardens , "The Old Necropolis". I was working in the bank which was embodied in the Hippodrome opposite. The manager,Mr.Patterson, told me of the cemetery and how it used to be called The Old Necropolis. Maybe my memory is simply of old photos of when it was full of memorials and gravestones.
Ah, no problem, I must have just had a bit of a cob on that day.
One of the best articles I've ever read on the subject of Black Dog folklore was "A Strange and Terrible Wonder" by Clare Stubbs, published in Fortean Times #195, April 2005. Definitely worth tracking down if you're interested in that kind of thing.

Fantastic images wsteve55.
In answer to ThePenkenthPedant's question - monuments were supposed to be moved to St James' (if I remember correctly) but, as you can see from wsteve55's images, there were a hell of a lot of them and lots of heavy, intricate ones too. I would suspect that many (especially the obelisk type ones) we're "reclaimed" and "recycled".
