This picture shows the eastern part of the burial ground. Click on the end-note title for other pictures taken within the ground. In addition, Thomas Nugent has eleven earlier pictures taken within this ground: http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=42932807 For example, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2391766 shows the location of the original entrance to this ground from Duncan Street. Some time after that entrance was created, the street was levelled, but it was greatly lowered in the process; the entrance, which was left high and dry, too far above the new street level, was subsequently closed. To allow continued access to the Duncan Street burial ground, an opening – http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2391713 – was created between this ground and the adjacent (and earlier) Image (up to that time, the grounds had been quite separate, though neighbours).
