A view towards the entrance on Well Hall Road, a 10 minute walk straight ahead. Langbrook Road lies a 5 minute walk away behind the photographer, although there is no access out into it. Mayday Gardens - a residential street - is situated behind the tree line on the left. This Victorian cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in London being of approximately 9.5 hectares in size (or 24 acres) and, as this picture reveals, a considerable amount of spare capacity remains available. One of half-a-dozen weather-protection shelters is seen here although all but the one nearest the entrance to the cemetery is boarded up as an anti- misbehaviour strategy.
