One of the pathways within the cemetery. The cemetery of some 13 acres was created on the site of an old sand mine run by a man named Rouse, and laid out around the many sandstone outcrops — hence the popular name of Rock Cemetery. The cemetery is on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, grade II*, and there is much history and detail at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001486

From its Addison Street end to its Waverley Street end in the distance this image shows clearly how most of the southern side of the road is occupied by buildings belonging to The Girls' High School. The construction site entrance for the new Performing Arts Centre is clearly obvious. Although members of the Arboretum Tenants' and Residents' Association expressed concern that this development would lead to increased traffic, noise pollution and be out of keeping with the Victorian architecture of Addison Street, the Council gave permission for it. The premises are expected to provide better accommodation for pupils for performances, assemblies and teaching. It will include a 275 seat auditorium, improved back-of-house facilities and a reception foyer. In addition, a smaller 70 seat studio will provide for smaller performances. The facilities will be predominantly for school use, although will include an ancillary element to provide for commercial and community use, i.e. occasional performances or rehearsals by external theatre companies, amateur dramatic groups, local schools or by local community groups. The budget is approximately £6.5m and it is due to be completed in 2016.
