Flaybrick Memorial Gardens - Wirral

A public cemetery opened in 1864 and extended in the late C19 and early C20. The layout was designed by Edward Kemp and the buildings by Lucy & Littler. Historic England match funded a local authority scheme to repair and consolidate the ruined chapels, which are now being maintained. A Conservation Management Plan has been adopted by the local authority. There is a positive relationship with the local authority and Friends Group through regular steering group meetings. The Friends have raised money for interpretation and improvements and run popular tours.
