Head east along Upper North Street then north up Dyke Road the entrance to the gardens is on the west side. Originally built as an extension to St Nicholas' graveyard which is on the western side of Dyke Road and opened in 1841. The rapid rise in population soon forced the local corporation to open two large out of town cemeteries and St Nicholas' was closed down at the end of the nineteenth century. Now it is a public open space. Click on the link to take you to the next page. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/212341
