Crossbones Graveyard :: 'R.I.P. The Outcast Dead'

Crossbones is a long forgotten and derelict paupers burial ground in Southwark, London. 

Until recently the memorial gates were the only accessible part of the site. Today I made my first visit to the fledgling Goose Garden behind the gates.

The owners of the site (Transport for London) have only allowed it to exists for the next 3 years after which they intend to redevelop the area.

My extra shows the memorial gates from the inside.

The full and fascinating history about this graveyard can be found on the Crossbones website.
