Mackenzie's Tomb - Rodney Street

[ChrisGeorge]

It is actually an ancient moondial containing the corpses of several cats.
It was built by ancient scouse druids, beards ago.

Actually there isn't a dead bloke in there sitting at a table with a winning hand of cards, but the Holy Grail is in there and the Da Vinci Code as well.

I doubt it chris! Or why would you tell me?? You just want me to open it and come out stinking of dead cats dont'cha!

[theninesisters]

Personally, I hope it is never opened at all. For all the mystery about it, it's still someone's grave - you wouldn't like it if it was one of your family no matter what the interest was.

I remember when we found Joseph Williamson's Grave and we were classed as gravediggers - even though were were only after the stone, we didn't lift it at all!

Joseph Sharples (a reliable source) says William Mackenzie, who was the railway contractor responsible for the Edge Hill-Lime Street railway tunnel died in 1851, and the "large, plain granite pyramid" is 1868.
Unfortunately, he doesn't say anything else, like what happened to the body for those 17 years (oe even if the body is actually inside the pyramid!).
