There is one of these Skull & Crossbones on each of the Western gate posts. They are Grade II* listed.
The Crossbones burial ground in Southwark, South London, was used between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries as a mass burial site primarily for paupers, prositutes and plague victims. The site has never been recognised or consecrated as a graveyard and since its closure in 1851 - due to reaching an unimaginable capacity - it has remained in limbo, unusable for development and unrecognised but for the attempts captured in these photographs. The campaigners make a pilgrimage to the gates every Haloween to leave asorted offerings and ribbons marking those whom they believe to be buried at Crossbones.
This skull-and-crossbones is tattooed on my upper left arm. I got it done when I was in the Navy. I thought about getting a second tattoo on my right arm to balance things out, but I never got around to it. Now I'm lopsided.
I've wanted to be a pirate ever since I was small (although there was a period around the time that 'Star Wars' came out that I modified that slightly and wished I were a Corellian Space Pirate). My friends and I would play pirate all the time. I always got to be the captain, of course.
We used the jungle gym in their backyard as our pirate ship and got some old costume jewelry from my mom to serve as our loot, which we kept in a cardboard box we painted to resemble a treasure chest. We sailed that jungle gym all over the Caribbean, raided a thousand ships, and pillaged a hundred ports without ever leaving our neighborhood.
Years later when my youngest niece came along I got her into playing pirates (it beat the hell outta playing with Barbies) and she and I made treasure maps out of old paper sacks, spyglasses out of empty paper towel rolls, and a pirate ship out of my sister's couch and I resumed my career as the Scourge of the Seven Seas.
Now I need someone else to hurry up and have kids so I can go back to playing pirate. It's much preferable to playing lawyer. There are rich merchant ships prime for the plucking and wealthy port towns brimming with gold. Time to teach those scurvy dogs to once again fear the name of Captain Kevin.
Arrrhh!

Crossbones Graveyard - It was first known as "single women's burial ground, where "local prostitutes - known as the Winchester Geese - were believed to have been buried "

Something to not keep near the breakfast cereal...
Actually an antique iodine dropper bottle. The blue one on the left is milk of magnesia.
There are currently many open grassy spaces in God's Acre in North Berwick Parish Kirkyard. The monuments that remain seem gathered in clusters and some of the gathered together stones offer each other protection from the elements and the ravages of time. The Gottesacker, the Field of God in German is the name now slightly changed to God's Acre to signify the precinct around spaces dedicated to religious use. In the field of God around North Berwick Parish Kirkyard there are some excellent grave markers and life commemorations. The memorial of Reverend John Blackadder gives several valuable historic insights. The memorial was, “Renewed by private inscription in 1821.” The memorial relates that Reverend Blackadder died in 1686, “on the Bass after five years imprisonment.” He continued to preach after being expelled from his parish and even after being made an outlaw.
He remains a martyr of Scottish Presbyterian Covenanter tradition whereby members bound themselves to maintain the Presbyterian doctrine and policy as the sole form of religion for Scotland. There are fine carvings of an Angel and an open book at the head of the memorial and of a Skull and Crossbones with Memento Mori written on a scroll at the foot of the memorial. The carvings at the foot of Reverend Blackadder’s grave have been protected by the presence of another grave stone. This other grave stone has served to keep the carving at the foot in better condition than at the exposed head end of the Blackadder memorial. Although the close proximity of the other grave stone limits viewing of the Skull and Crossbones with Memento Mori written on a scroll it has helped to keep them in readable condition. Rather unusually the femur terminals all seem to show signs of excessive, maybe even recent wearing away.
