IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Broad Walk, LONDON, SE3 8NH

Broad Walk runs almost straight for 1200m south-west from this point.

This pictures was taken from a point several hundred yards along one of the arterial roads near to the entrance to the cemetery on Well Hall Road. Mayday Gardens - a residential street - is situated behind the tree line on the right and a 10 minute walk straight ahead leads to Langbrook Road (although no entrance/exit exists into the latter). It is one of the largest cemeteries in London being of 9.5 hectares in size (i.e. approx 24 acres) and as this picture reveals, a considerable amount of spare capacity remains available.

Recreational area and green space beside Well Hall Road, with views towards the water tower at the former Brook Fever Hospital.

This is near the entrance to Greenwich Cemetery. The former Royal Herbert Hospital is in the distance - now private flats. For more about the hospital and related links see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6771747

With the south-western boundary hedge and tree-line 50 metres or so behind the photographer this is a view towards the main entrance on Well Hall Road (with the roof of the 1930s lodge just visible) and an 'unchristened and anonymously numbered' block of flats on the same road. Presumably this sea of low Victorian-era headstones reflect the more 'challenged' financial state of the family members who ordered them?

Greenwich Cemetery, near Eltham in south east London.

Greenwich Cemetery was founded 1856 by Greenwich Burial Board on a hilly site, with an entrance in Well Hall Road. At the top of the hill are the Commonwealth War Graves and the Heroes Corner and War Memorial. The panoramic views are the finest from any cemetery in London and are some of the best anywhere in London. This is next to the path near the entrance. It is to Nicolas, Russian, poet, historian and political activist who died on 12th June 1877 aged 63, but was exhumed, cremated and returned in honour to his native Russia where he was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novodevichy_Cemetery For more about Nicolas Ogareff see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Ogarev For more about Greenwich Cemetery see https://londongardenstrust.org/inventory/gardens-online-record.php?ID=GRN026
