West Ham Cemetery was established by the West Ham Burial Board in 1857 and was extended in 1871. Good drainage and low cost were considered more important than the landscape potential when the land was purchased. As a result the cemetery is rather lacking in distinctive features and has a straightforward grid of paths. There is just the one entrance - in Cemetery Road. This is near the far end, looking along a line of lime trees towards the war memorial.
