2023 - Auckland NZ - 44 - Symonds Street Cemetery - 4 of 5
The east section of Aucklands Symonds Street Cemetery Is looking neglected but it is a quiet enclave with good walking trail.
The east side of Symonds Street Cemetery was the Anglican and Weslyan burial grounds.
The early cemetery was segmented into four sections by religious denomination - Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, and Presbyterian with other general religious backgrounds.
In 1905 the Cemetery was closed and given to Auckland City Council as a public park.
It is estimated by Heritage New Zealand that less than a quarter of the around 10,000 graves in the cemetery have grave markers and most of them are in a state of failure.
