Mass subsidence, Witton Cemetery
Subsidence of graves is common in burial grounds but it is surprising to see it in relatively recent graves. These memorials are typical of the 1920-1950 era: rather divan-like with kerbs around the grave and a short rectangular headstone, sometimes with an Art Deco flavour. Perhaps after the First World War stone was dear: in short supply because the numbers of stonemasons and quarrymen had been reduced by the war. Hence the smaller memorials, compared to Late Victorian and Edwardian styles, and reflecting a change of public taste.
