Cemetery - Derelict London
West Norwood Cemetery
Built in 1837. To quote a local estate agent's blurb: "This ranks alongside Highgate as a bizarre
and beautiful insight into the Victorian age. Its catacombs and monuments, including memorials
to many famous names, are one of London's hidden treasures."
The Catacombs are in poor condition from bomb damage, neglect, and vandalism. Following
intervention by the Diocese of Southwark and English Heritage, a conservation management strategy
has been adopted for the repair and restoration of catacombs.
