London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Ladywell and Brockley Cemetery Headstone Photo Request - Rangecroft
« on: Sunday 30 July 23 12:02 BST (UK) »
Thank you for your super quick reply and for the information. I had suspicions the reply would be that sort of information.
looking at deceased online she was interned with about 14 other people non related in Z-344.
Can't find out anything else or even how she died, I am assuming some kind of paupers grave being that many in the same area and unmarked.
I will arrange a day trip to have a wander around.
Again thank you for your help.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Brockley Cemetery Headstone Search
« on: Saturday 29 July 23 23:32 BST (UK) »
I live several hours drive away from Brockley Cemetery and trying to plan a trip but firstly trying to locate graves to visit.
I have a GG Louisa Adelaide Sheppard [nee Bale] born 1878 & Died 1921 and buried in section Z plot 344.
I think I have found the section on a small map but it looks completely overgrown compared to the rest of the cemetery.
Does anyone know if there are lots of headstones in that section?
Or is anyone able to locate it for me and take a picture of it?

Here you go, let me know if you cannot see the images.

What was confusing was that the road was not in twerton as I know of it today, it was in East Twerton and was built on top of by Stothert & Pitt.
It was parallel to the Lower Bristol Road on the other side of the railway lines. The Victoria Supsension Bridge is still there and still be walked over.
I was an Apprentice at Stothert & Pitt in 1989 and my father and grand father worked for the company before it closed. It is a funny feeling thinking that I would have walked over the spot where the house was many times as it was roughly in the middel of the crance yard.
The whole site has almost been rebuilt again recently with flats.
Any how, hope you find these photos as interesting as I have?
Please feel free to leave comments on the gallery site.

Right, good news. I have located Alfred Place and Longmead Street and have maps and photos.
I will attempt to get them scanned and marked up by this evening and upload them to my family photo gallery and post the links.
What is really bizzare is that the book I found the photo on has been on my desk since Christmas as I was borrowing it from my dad for something else.
For Ref: I got the map 1886 Town Plan from http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html and pieced it together.

What year map are you looking for?
My dad's friend collects old maps of Bath so if you give me all the details of the search including years then I can pass the question on.
