How many famous people are there in Highgate Cemetery other than George Eliot and Karl Marx?
G.K. Chesterton wrote a poem that referenced a cemetery called Kensal Green, which presumably was well known about at the time, although I'd never heard of it.
There's a cemetery in Reading located at a point of a triangle between two busy roads called Cemetery Junction. I always thought that was a great name. In fact it was actually used as a title for a Ricky Gervais film.
Kensal green is massive. Used to wander round there in my moody black and white photography days. Bizzarely in parts of it at times there was a strong smell of croissants from the nearby industrial bakery.
Re cemetary junction, seem to remember that on a road into blackburn there was a pub called the cemetary hotel, tavern or inn or something. It was outside the cemetary gates but even as a kid i wondered what the hell they were thinking when they named it.
