Mothers and families of stillborn babies buried in “mass graves” at a Wirral cemetery are still demanding answers over what happened.
In the 20th century, stillborn babies were taken to cemeteries across Wirral and buried in “mass graves” or at the foot of someone being buried that day. Fathers were asked to collect their child in a box from the hospital and take it to the cemetery themselves.
At Landican Cemetery in Wirral, it’s believed that potentially "hundreds if not thousands" of babies are buried, with many families never being told where they were, the Liverpool Echo reports.
