Highgate is divided by a road (Swain's Lane if I remember). The top part where all the rich & famous are buried with very ostentatious headstones, angels, etc. seemed better but they wanted £35 to get in there. Views of London from the very top. We visited the low part at only £15. Remember Karl Marx & George Eliot amongst others. There were a few souls trying to tame the jungle. There was a Chinese funeral in progress right at the bottom where there was still a bit of space available. Alan C On 27-Jun-21 08:42 AM, Bob Pdml wrote: > Thanks. This one is maintained by volunteers. They have some before and after photos showing how the Friends organisation has transformed it from an overgrown condition by clearing brambles etc. which formed a canopy. Now that light can get to the floor the flowers can grow. Some cover remains for the animals of course. > > Highgate Cemetery is much, much bigger than this and correspondingly difficult to maintain, I guess.

At least it's not a complete jungle. Parts of Highgate Cemetery which I visited some years ago were virtually impenetrable. Our local Muni have been "maintaining" the town environs as a nature reserve for some years. >> >> Alan C >> >>> On 27-Jun-21 12:00 AM, Bob Pdml wrote: >>> …if that’s what you have to be. >>> >>> I at last had the chance today to visit a cemetery close to where I live.
