Surrey

The London Necropolis Railway

author: TBCS : London, UK

The surviving entrance to the private station at 121 Westminster Bridge Road During the first half of the 19th century, London's population more than doubled and the number of London corpses requiring disposal was growing almost as fast. Cemetery space in the city had failed to keep pace with this growth, and so the vast new Brookwood Cemetery - the London Necropolis - was built in Surrey.
