Back in the General Cemetery off Spring Bank West Kingston upon Hull. This time I am at the far end of the cemetery closer to Chanterlands Avenue, the dereliction at this end is far worse than the end closer to Spring Bank. The Quaker Burial Ground is something to see with so much history of the many people who helped build this city in years gone by. The burial ground is surrounded by a small hedge and the head stones are all as you see here. This part is separated by a small allay about one person wide or slightly more from the remainder of the General cemetery. These are the first 6 photos of 11 in colour and 11 in Monochrome of The Quaker Burial Ground.
Cemeteries are great photographic subjects for me... usually I wander around and pick out some statues or etchings or something. This time, however, the sign was most appealing to me... I took the photo in black and white and then gave it a slightly warmer tone. I think it's more effective than the original black and white.
