PHOTOS PAGE 3: 10 APRIL 2006
 
Arnold Lewis took over from Joe Wolfman as Jewish community archivist in April 2006, but his interest in Deane Road Cemetery had started many years before. Here are some photos he took which show the extent of the fly-tipping that was still ongoing at that time from several houses on Chiswell Street:

The south path of the cemetery was almost impassable

Much of the refuse had landed on

the children's section of graves

You can also see how the large Braham tomb on the far

left of this photo was still almost completely covered in ivy

The largest single piece of fly-tipped refuse was this old

 sofa! It must have taken several people to throw this over the 12 ft boundary wall of the cemetery

  
     
 
These photos provide an idea of the mentality of some of Liverpool's less thoughtful residents. Thankfully, all the refuse you see here was removed in two inter-faith clear-up days later that summer.
