While walking through the old General Cemetery last weekend I could hear loud music emanating from somewhere. It turned out to be a band playing by the columns of the Samuel Worth chapel.
The cemetery opened in 1836 and was closed to burials in the 1980s. It became heavily overgrown but has been undergoing restoration to certain key buildings and other areas (including the chapel, where this photo was taken, which is now used as a venue for events). The overgrown parts of the cemetery are an important habitat for various local species, and also make for some wonderful photographs.
