In 1897, the City of Liverpool petitioned Parliament to close several burial grounds, including St. Mary's Cemetery, Walton Road, Kirkdale, with the intent of converting them into ornamental open spaces. In 1898, the cemetery was acquired by Liverpool Corporation and officially closed on 28 Dec 1898. It was opened as Lester Gardens on 10 July 1905 and named for Canon Thomas Major Lester (1829-1903) who was vicar of St. Mary's Church for over 50 years. The entrance to the cemetery still stands adjacent to 61 Walton Road.
