Dead babies, the wrong grave, a costermongers funeral, parakeets and an oddly faithful cat; Hammersmith Cemetery, Margravine Road, W6
Tags: History · Anthropology
A shocking discovery in Hammersmith Cemetery sent me digging through Victorian newspapers and coroner reports. I piece together three cases of infants found near Margravine Road, a wrong grave, a costermonger's funeral, parakeets and an oddly faithful cat. Hammersmith Cemetery history and Fulham Mortuary coroner reports included.
