John Robertson C.B.E Provost's stone on the right marks the tight twist in the up road to millionaires' row in Woodside Cemetery. I photographed all of Woodside and mapped Woodside onto Google Maps and in doing so I found out this graveyard has so few names for the many footpaths and off roads it has. One well-known name is Millionaires' Row though it's also known as Boardwalk http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3488511. Plus the path just off Millionaires' Row beside the old gardens of remembrance is known as Coats Walk after the cotton mill family. This footpath marks the start and leads to the back of the crematorium and passes by Fillin's monument, where the half-nude female statue called Weeping Rachel http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3488577 sits upon his monument. So I've taken it upon myself to name this footpath Rachel's Walk. It sounds better than plot 15.
