Sambo's Grave, Memorial grave in Sunderland Point, Lancashire, England.
The grave sits on unconsecrated ground near the shoreline of Morecambe Bay, marked by a stone plaque and surrounded by a low wall.
In 1736, a young servant from the West Indies arrived at Sunderland Point with a ship captain and died shortly after at a local inn.
The memorial represents the connection between Lancashire's maritime trade and the presence of West Indian people in 18th-century England.
Visitors can reach the grave by following a narrow road across salt marshes, considering tide times as the path floods during high water.
Local children maintain a tradition of placing flowers and stones at the grave site, which received a Horizon Line Chamber installation in 2019.
