Deane Road Jewish Cemetery

In 1835, this site in the Kensington district was purchased as a formal burial ground for the Hebrew congregation who had become such an integral part of the city. A huge, ornate archway was built to serve as its entrance, made of brick and rendered in stucco and stone, in the Greek revival style. Sadly this is all that remains of the grand entrance today, the walls and railings now grade II listed to prevent further loss. There is a fascinating website with photos and information at the link below:- http://www.deaneroadcemetery.com/index.html
