Hi
Sadly the cemetery that was, is no longer their in Doctors Piece, the question now arises - WHERE has the stone gone? (If moved) and was the bodies disturbed or left their in the earth.
No-one seems to know what has happened to the memorial stone.
Their is a newish commemorative plaque been erected in wood street cemetery by the top entrance gate, mentioning the cholera outbreak in the area and that one of the first victims are buried their but no other information available on the other cemetery at Doctor's Piece.
Seems this historical memorial has been pushed aside to make way for modern development ie: Morrison's supermarket.
Someone somewhere must know more about this....... I'd be very interested in knowing more - Can anyone shed some light on this please
