Talking about Liverpool there was a case about 1945 involving children playing around a bombed building. They found a wide iron pipe sealed at both ends but the seal starting to come away from one end and they saw part of a skull. The case never got thoroughly imvestigated butinside the pipe were the remains of a man clad in Victorian clothes. His effects included an invoice from a Liverpool Paint store and some investigation showed that the owner of the store, Thomas Cregeen Williams had vanished in the 1850's. Sounds like a hoax but the case is mentioned in contemporary newspapers and now on some genealogy websites.
