The General Cemetery in Spring Bank West the Western Cemetery now belongs to Kingston upon Hull City Council for its upkeep. The Council is also responsible for the General Cemetery but as you will see later it is very badly kept yet still visited by families to leave flowers.
My photos of General Cemetery will follow over the next few days.
The General Cemetery was opened in 1847. The cemetery was closed in 1972, and went into the hands of the Council. Some maintenance work has been undertaken more recently. But I could not see any on my visit on March 1st 2019.
There is so much history in here and I shall be going back!
The chapel in Macclesfield cemetery stands guard over the graves surrounding it. I felt that this lovely old Gothic buiding needed a suitably Gothic victorianesque treatment.

Cemetery Chapel, Crete. West of the island, there are 2 roads that follow the sea, one very close to the coastline, and an other one high above, in the mountains. After a swim (and meeting a live wild sea turtle! I called him.her Claude), we cruised all day, making stops for my stupid photos.

Lancashire Cottage Cemetery was begun by the 1st East Lancashire (who have 84 graves in it) and the 1st Hampshire (who have 56) in November 1914. It was used as a front line cemetery until March 1916 and occasionally later. The cemetery was in German hands from 10 April to 29 September 1918 and they made a few burials in it during that spring and summer.
The cemetery contains 256 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. There are also 13 German war graves.
The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden.
Same old cemetery as the previous ones I've uploaded.

The Keren War Cemetery is immaculately presented in what is now an idyllic and peaceful location, with Bougainvillea shrubs abounding. How different it was some seven decades before.......
The town of Keren was the last Italian stronghold in Eritrea and was the scene of the most decisive battle of the war in East Africa, in February and March 1941. Guarding access to the Eritrean Plateau from the western plains through a deep gorge was the only road, bordered by precipitous and well fortified mountains, forming a perfect military strong point. In the region of 23,000 Italian infantrymen were concentrated here, together with a large number of strategically-placed gun and mortar emplacements. After a week of bitter fighting, a preliminary assault by British and Indian troops was repulsed, although a strategic position was taken on Cameron's Ridge, on one side of the pass. The final battle, one month later, saw ten days of gruelling combat and the Commonwealth troops succeeded in striking a wedge in the seemingly impregnable Italian defences on the ridge, and finally through the 200 metre long road block which the Italians had blasted from the rock at the narrowest point in the pass. Keren was taken on 27 March, and the defeated Italian force retreated to Asmara, which fell to Commonwealth forces on 1st April. The Italian surrender was taken at the port of Massawa on 8 April 1941.
