I discovered a little gem today, Nunhead Victorian Cemetery in Southwark, estblished in 1840! This is the Anglican Chapel, or the remains of it - it fell victim to an act of arson in 1974, lost its interior & roof & was reduced to a ruin, :( It has now been stabilised for the last 10 years. Gothic style, very impressive.

Brompton Cemetery, one of the so-called 'magnificent seven' cemeteries that were built in the mid-nineteenth century in a ring around London to cope with the city's growing population.
Many famous people are buried at Brompton, including Emmeline Pankhurst, Britain's leading suffragette and, amazingly, a Sioux Indian Chief called Long Wolf, who died whilst touring with Buffalo Bill!
According to the Wiki entry for Brompton Cemetery, Beatrix Potter 'took the names of many of her animal characters from tombstones in the cemetery and it is said that Mr McGregor's walled garden was based on the colonnades. Names on headstones include Mr Nutkin, Mr McGregor, a Tod (with that unusual single 'd' spelling), Jeremiah Fisher, Tommy Brock - and even a Peter Rabbett.'

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. Taken on the 25 March 2019 in Monochrome.

The German War Cemetery in Langemarck has more than 44,000 soldiers are buried there.
The village was the scene of the first gas attacks by the German army, marking the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915.
During the First Battle of Ypres (1914) in World War I, inexperienced German infantry suffered severe casualties when they made a futile frontal attack on allied positions near Langemarck and were checked by experienced French infantry and British riflemen. Contrary to popular myth, only fifteen percent of the German soldiers involved in the Battle of Langemarck were schoolboys and students. Legend has it that the German infantry sang the first stanza of what later (1919) became their national anthem "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles," as they charged.
The cemetery, which evolved from a small group of graves from 1915, has seen numerous changes and extensions. It was dedicated in 1932. A mass grave near the entrance contains 24,917 servicemen, including the Ace Werner Voss. Between the oak trees, next to this mass grave, are another 10,143 soldiers (including 2 British soldiers killed in 1918). The 3,000 school students who were killed during the First Battle of Ypres are buried in a third part of the cemetery. At the rear of the cemetery is a sculpture of four mourning figures by Professor Emil Krieger. The group was added in 1956, and is said to stand guard over the fallen. The cemetery is maintained by the German War Graves Commission, the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge.
The Grieving Figures in the background oversee the mass grave. The small stone crosses are symbolic.
