There is an old [[Quakers|Quaker]] burial ground, the 'Quakers Graveyard', situated at the bottom of Keith Street. Now a visitors' attraction the graveyard was given over to the city of Glasgow. It was last used in 1857. Purdon Street, which runs parallel with Keith Street, was named after John Purdon, a prominent Quaker who lived in Partick in the 17th century. His wife is buried in the graveyard.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kilmeny.vispa.com/quaker.html |title=Quaker Burial Ground |access-date=9 February 2012 |archive-date=30 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140130125439/http://www.kilmeny.vispa.com/quaker.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
