I grew up in Low wood St Low Hill in the sixties I used to take a short cut to Margret St baths along that path. It was a beautiful park back then kept well with lovely flower beds. It a disgrace how it’s been neglected.

Hi, I was born in Low Wood Street in 1962. We moved to Tuebrook around 1966/67.

I would love to walk threw there at night ..the Dead cant hurt u .but real people can .😊

exactly ! , Thank you ☺

[@Thestig-en6gp]

Your very wrong the dead can hurt you if they are a bad or evil person when they was alive & still carry that hate when passed. But, i am sure those buried in that place was good people & only their souls be highly P. OFF!!! if they knew what has happened to their graves. I would be if it was me in a grave (Certainly not yet anyway).

Excellent Vlog, my mum moved to the then new Henglers Estate back in the early/mid 80s. I played Rugby and would run and train in that park by myself. There was outer pathway I ran around looks like it gone. Always getting told by people are you not scared being there by yourself cause there is bodies still in the ground. As a teenager you never knew any different. The old water fountain is there only the bottom half can been seen in your video in the 80s it’s still had the bowl on the top it was across from the entrance the newlyweds would come from the Wedding registry office across the road. I live in the Cressington area of Liverpool now. Drove past here months back not much has changed but it’s so run down. Keep up the great work.
