Victoria Park Cemetery, Hackney, Middlesex, England



 

Notes: Victoria Park Cemetery, later known as Meath Gardens, Bethnal Green, was a private enterprise started by a limited company in 1845 to take advantage of the market for burials created by the inability of church graveyards to accept any more dead. However, the cemetery went bankrupt in 1853, unable to attract wealthy customers. The business was bought out by one of the directors and continued. The cemetery was not consecrated and closed in 1876. In 1885 it was turned into a recreation ground. [source: http://www.aim25.ac.uk/cgi-bin/vcdf/detail?coll_id=13613&inst_id=118 ]
