Toxteth Park Cemetery is situated in Smithdown Road, Liverpool. Unfortunately, in recent years, a lot of the gravestones and monuments have fallen into a state of disrepair and many have been removed. Before they disappear completely it is about time that inscriptions are recorded so that future generations of family historians can access the information contained on them.
