It was the early 80's when I went there Bob. I was staying with my brother in Brixton. What sticks in my mind - apart from the wonderful wildlife, (I saw evidence of badgers) was the variety of 'headstones' and memorials. One in particular was a wooden cross with a stick- on man ('gents' toilet sign) with more stick- on letters underneath giving the birthand death dates and 'DAD'. There was something wonderful (and rather poignant)about this obviously home-made memorial. Especially as we know it wouldn't be allowed in most burial grounds. maggie |
