The forgotten grave of Coronation Street legend Pat Phoenix in Crosby, Merseyside
Mr H visits the peaceful churchyard of St Peters & St Pauls in Crosby, Merseryside to take a look at the forgotten and neglected grave of Coronation Street legend Pat Phoenix who became one of the first sex symbols and stars of British television through her role as Elsie Tanner, a role which she played from 1960 until she left the long running soap opera in 1984.

Very interesting commentary although somewhat sad.

I had signed photo from her it was 1970s great actress thanks once again mr h great video 😊
What a fantastic actress
Still watching the old coronation Street when it was good no the tripe that is on now full of silly kids and woke rubbish 😢. Great video more plz sending the love from west Bromwich 😊😊
Nice video that Mr H watching from a warm palma Majorca
Hi Mr Hot Pot Elsie Tanner (Pat Phoenix) her and Annie Walker ( Doris Speed) were always at war in the rovers return mate thanks for sharing trust you and Mrs Hotpot are both keeping well
Agreed, you would think that Pat Phoenix would've received a better grave marker. A big and well loved British star, so wholesome, dramatic and larger than life and this is where she ended up, sharing a plot that needs some TLC. Sad. On the other hand I suppose at least she has an existing grave marker when so many don't 💔
Great vid mr h
I saw her and got her autograph when he came to a Wigan ath v Show biz 11football match in the 60s, then a couple of years ago I was sat in a Chinese restaurant in Soho and Tony stuck his face against the window to see if their was any room inside. Roy I like the new style of waving your hands around like they do on the telly, it make you look like you know what your talking about.
Great vid as ever 👍 I very much enjoyed watching the great Pat Phoenix on the hilarious Buggernation Street which unfortunately got taken down by YT last year 😢
Pat Phoenix remember her well Mr H a Brilliant actress and sexy with it. Your right about the grave you would think the Blairs with all there money they could pay for a decent memorial for her.

Hi Gary, and hope that you are keeping well. 👍 I suppose Cherie Blair could argue that her only tie to Pat Phoenix is that she married her father and became her stepmother albiet only for a few days, but the other Booths who share the same headstone are presumably her blood relatives so you'd have expected the headstone to have at least been given a clean for their memory at some point but then again I suppose we don't know the family dynamics. I suppose it's just human nature to forget those who help us along the way in life but it's still sad all the same.

Hi Ray, and thanks for commenting. 👍 The last person to be interred in the Booth grave according to the dates on the headstone was 'Mary Vera Booth' in 1987 a year after Pat Phoenix's death. Unless Mary Vera Booth's wishes were to always be buried in this particular space and the grave was originally dug to a depth to only hold two people then yes Pat Phoenix will have had to have been buried in a 'new' grave. However if this is the case then it throws up the question of should she have her own headstone especially given that she was a huge televison star and a household name at the time of her passing rather than having her name inscribed onto the back of someone else's headstone?
As you walked back up to your car at the side of the path is the new headstone and grave of Tom O'connor Mr h
shame about the wind noise
Cud be a family plot, with family of ashes, names on the bk of the head stone, maybe wrong

What? Just because her most known role was in a soap? Pat was fantastic at what she did
