The A60, i.e. the main Nottingham-Mansfield road is visible through an archway created by the twin mortuary chapels, one of each of these chapels on either side of a roadway through this construction. Arnold Cemetery was set aside for this purpose in 1877 and originally covered a four acre site. The first burial here was conducted in July 1879. It is still in regular use although various extension plots have been added behind the photographer's left shoulder. Full capacity, it seems, may be achieved within the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the local authority is giving serious consideration to building the 'first ever' crematorium within the city boundary, near to the Travellers' Rest pub, Mapperley Plain.
