The Hill Top Jewish Cemetery opened in 1873 and contains the burial grounds for a number of synagogues in Leeds. Although the "No entry" notice on the gate forbidding access for safety reasons is dated August 2020, the cemetery itself was permanently closed in 2008 because some parts of the cemetery had collapsed on more than one occasion into old coal workings. We don't seem to have any photos of the cemetery itself on this site. Burials now take place in the newer burial ground across the road Image
