The old-mersey times website gives a valuable insight for this Burial Ground transcribed from the Liverpool Mercury, August 29th 1908

"During some excavations now going on for the building of an imbecile hospital in Smithdown Road, by order of Toxteth Guardians, the workmen unearthed a leaden shell with a skeleton inside and a large quantity of human bones.

A member of the Society of Friends gives some interesting information relative to the discovery. It appears that originally the Society of Friends burial ground was in Quakers Alley, Hackins Hey. (The first purpose-built Meeting House was erected in Hackins Hey about 1709 ) and attached to it was a burial ground. The Quakers left for Hunter Street about 1796, after when the premises became a school, as the corporation acquired the plot.  The Society of Friends, purchased a new plot in Arundel Avenue and the bodies from Hackins Hey were reinterred there."

Since 1850 there has been a small Quaker cemetery behind the wall on Arundel Avenue opposite Cumberland and Halkyn Avenue. The Quakers once owned all the land down to Smithdown Road but sold most of it to allow development and building of the Toxteth Workhouse and what has more recently been Sefton General Hospital.
