I was surprised .... it wasn't in as bad  a shape as I thought ..... doesn't look like it would take that much to fix it !!
but still what a shame !! ...... though I keep forgetting it's over 80 years old !!  ::)

God Bless you Robert ..... I'm so glad we've found you !

I'm supposed to be doing dinner, but when this came up...what the hey....
Thank you sister for me, Edna, and thanks for your patience in putting the pictures up.
I'm wondering if someone pushed the stone for a bit of fun...it looks in very good condition.
If it's not possible to lift it, turning it to bring his name into the sunlight again would be a nice thing.

Has anyone looked the Cot up by the way
I thought when I first seen it at the library
It was an abbreviation for cottage.
If I get around there tonight I will take a look.
I will take my camera out with me just in case.
I know as soon as you turn into Grange lane from Gatacre park drive
There is a old house on the corner
But I'm sure this is the lodge.
There still some lovely old houses still along Grange lane

I think this has been placed down
If that has dropped. it would have done some damage to itself and also the stone below
If you look behind the grave it is too near to the one behind to place facing up
So would encroach on the other persons grave
It has just been too heavy to turn around for the folk who have do this.
This is policy now to push down these stones in Liverpool.
There was trouble a few years back at Anfield cemetery when this was done
The relatives kicked up a stink about not being able to see the writing.
