Hucknall, NG15 - Butler's Hill Area
The entrance/exit of Hucknall Cemetery, Broomhill Road. "Cemetery Lodge" on the left hand side of it is dated 1886. One of the first gravestones inside the gates, on the right, is that of a Mr Beardall. A former elementary school in nearby Beardall Street - now a nursery, infants and junior school - is called Beardall School. It seems likely that these are associated?
