Rock Cemetery - May 2012

PaulPowers · May 30, 2012

After spending a day under Nottingham then loosing my memory card I headed back up north but as I was passing I dropped in on Rock cemetery

The interior of the caves seen in the Rock Cemetery. These are man made, and could predate the cemetery, as there is a long history of cave excavation for shelter and dwelling in the Nottingham sandstone. The green colouring is the result of moss or algal growth. The caves are barriered off and are used to some extent for storage

All in all an epic day in caves, culverts and drains.

Nottingham I salute you :mrgreen:

Nice!

Are those caves actually in the rock in the middle of Naottingham then? The same place as Ye Olde Tryppe To Jerusalem?

Did you go down to the paupers/mass graves at the back of the cemetery? Quite sad to see some of the ages and what were all obviously young children from the same family. There's also quite a few soldiers graves there too.

Good to see some pics from here.

PaulPowers · Jun 8, 2012

Yeah I spent a good hour just walking around.

The state of some of the graves was pretty bad but not the first time I've caught site of human remains on an explore
