The foreground is in the shadow of the Mint. The cemetery was laid out as a commercial venture in 1846. It was to be a specifically Anglican place of burial in response to the non-conformist dominance of neighbouring Key Hill, or Birmingham General Cemetery, laid out in 1835. Many original features of the Warstone Lane site have been lost, notably the chapel, which suffered bomb damage in World War II and was demolished around 1950. Source: Jonathan Lovie.
