Allerton Cemetery opened in 1909 and new graves are still available. Its main entrance (above) is in Woolton Road. For a map of the cemetery click here. I have been told that it is the third largest cemetery in Europe. Information from Liverpool Records Office shows that purchase of the land was completed in October 1906, the Church of England section was consecrated by the Bishop of Liverpool on 24th September 1909 and the first burial in the cemetery took place on 29th December 1909. The Cemeteries and Crematoria office kindly told me that the total number of burial plots allocated as at August 2003 was 74,109 which included: Church of England 35,596, General 18,024, Roman Catholic 15,072, Jewish 5,397.
