Mass Grave in Old Swan

[PhilipG]

That's a more likely explanation than a mass-genocide by members of the occult. Or whatever.

Would be interesting to find out more about it...

I've found the source.
It was Derek Whale's "Lost Villages of Liverpool" Part 1 (1984).



The graves were first discovered in April 1973, so a trawl through the newspapers at the Record Office might reveal contemporary accounts.
