Some CWG Photos from Liverpool.

Discussion in 'War Grave Photographs' started by blacksnake, Jul 24, 2009.

    blacksnake As old as I feel.

    After recent visits to cemeteries around Liverpool to photograph CWG on behalf of certain members, I thought I'd "post" some shots of the cemeteries in general, Screen Walls and of various headstones on the 'off chance' they may help others on similar quests ....

    Cemeteries that are local to me are:

    Smithdown Rd. Cmtry, Toxteth Park. - Photos coming soon.

    West Derby, L/pool- Screen Wall.

    Allerton Cemetery - Main Drive & Chapel.

    Springwood Crem.

    Anfield Cmtry & Crem. - Memorial Garden, Cross of Sacrifice, Screen Walls.

    Liverpool (Ford) R.C. Cmtry. - S/Wall, 1914-1918 mem.
    Photos of Cwg's : Merch Navy, RAF, RASC, Welsh Fus.

    Landican/Flaybrick Hill Cmtry & Crem, Wirral - CWG Memorial Gdns & Screen Wall.

    I will post what pictures I have of the above for any one who's interested. Also, to save me time searching the "request" threads, if anyone has specific requests from the above then PM me, and I'll see what I can do.

    Im also local esp to Sthelens and Anfield so if you can get the pics together I can sort them out, i know there are a few of you out there with pic requirements from liverpool.

    Said it before could do with a better way to do this. Often get back post the pics and some one else shouts up they want one from the same place...

    Phil ... Thanks for the list. It's so much easier than 'trawling' the threads for possibles ... thought it would stand out better than all the varied and scattered posts and threads.

    I took the liberty of rearranging your 'request list' in the order of cemeteries I can, and am most likely to visit. Those below the line are not very local but I will bear them in mind. I do already have a couple of general photos of most of the cemeteries I've coloured red, will post them as soon as I get the chance.

    I will try and let you know beforehand ... but it's mostly done on "lastminute.com" :D ... If so I'll get the info off the CWGC website.

    Thanks for the replies chaps, it will certainly help the next time I'm out and about.

    Allerton, Anfield and West Derby are all local enough so wont be a problem. I have to revisit Ford sometime soon anyway. I'll need to check on Kirkdale, but I think it's not too far away from Ford. For those over the Mersey I'll make no promises, but I do already have quite a few shots of the CWG Memorial Garden inc. Screen Wall and Cross of Sacrifice from Landican already.

    As soon as I have time I will be posting some 'general' photos of the above (screen walls etc.)

    I'll try and let "y'all" know before I go to any cemetery that you've listed.

    Thanks,

    Chris.

    Anfield Cemetery, Liverpool.

    Formerly known as 'Liverpool' cemetery, Anfield was opened in 1863 and is one of the largest in Europe. It is also the site of one of the most impressive CWGC Monuments & Memorial Gardens in Liverpool, with three Screen Walls, two dedicated to the 1914-1918 War, and one to the 1939-1945 War.

    On a recent visit to this cemetery on the outskirts of Liverpool to photograph cwg's for dbf ... I was lacking the list of requests that have been provided by members in this thread, so I took some random photos of headstones I thought may be of interest to some of you ...

    All Under One Roof !!

    At first I considered starting a new thread for each of the cemetery sites around Liverpool. But, the original idea behind this thread being to reduce the amount of 'searching' that's required to find (and bring together) the various cemetery and cwg requests that are being posted, that I've decided to keep all the Liverpool cwg's and cemeteries in the same place. :huh:

    Basically ... If anyone is looking for anything relating to Liverpool, or has stuff that may assist others, then please post it here.

    I shall endeavor to help those that have already made requests so far as soon as I can ... This weekend is looking good (weather wise) so, I'm looking at getting to West Derby & Anfield. I'm currently (this week) on a night shift, so I may even pop along to Allerton Cmtry (which is 2mins from where I work) Saturday morning, depending on my level of sleep deprivation ...:D...
