    Merrick's Grave

    The grave where some of Joseph Merrick's remains were buried has been traced, an author claims.


    Apparently, when they had finished preparing Joseph Merrick's skeleton for display, they buried the rest. I'd have thought it'd have ended in the hospital incinerator.

    To be honest Ginger I’m surprised that Merrick’s grave hadn’t been found long ago. You learn something new everyday.

      It apparently didn't require much effort.

        Hats off to her. She seems to have succeeded.

          Couldn’t agree more Robert. I’m just surprised (amazed is probably a better word) that no-one had found it already.
