During the last few years I have become very interested in the history of my home town of Liverpool.   In my day to day research I kept coming back to what is now known as St.James' Gardens.   Located at the rear of the Anglican Cathedral, it occupies ten acres of ground which were once the final resting place of nearly 58,000 souls.

From an American sea captain, stabbed to death, to children who died within hours of their birth.   From a midget artist who painted England's nobility, to a simple serving girl.   They all found their way into this quiet, final resting place, in Liverpool.

I will try to show why this small corner of Liverpool fascinates me so much, and what stories are hidden in the past.   If you find this site interesting, or if you feel you have something to add, or if you have any questions, please mail me.
