Update on mass graves of Old Swan
A QUICK thanks to Pool of Life reader Fortinian, who send in a link to a piece he wrote on the mass graves in Old Swan, in response to a blog post requesting information on behalf of final year history student Lydia Chadwick.
He's gone to the trouble of marking the sites on a number of ordnance survey and tithe maps as well as recording the responses to an (incorrect) theory that they are the graves of Irish immigrants massacred by the British government.
Further links relating to the mass graves, provided by Kev at Yo! Liverpool, are detailed in this blog post.
