This granite obelisk and the surrounding iron railings are a place-marker of memorial for the bodies of a number of former residents of the Granville Street cemetery; they were re-interred here in the mid 1870s when that cemetery was closed due to development of the railway and New Street station. The obelisk and railings were Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101393644-granville-street-memorial-with-associated-low-level-wrought-iron-railings-witton-old-jewish-cemetery-oscott-ward#.W6afa9QrLGg in 2010.
