Ghosts of West Norwood
Category: Lifestyle
A ThenVsNow duel at West Norwood Cemetery, matching a 1968 Lambeth Archives photo with my 2024 shot. I trace John Britton's henge like Bramley Fall stone memorial, Gideon Mantell's altered tomb, chapel to columbarium changes, wartime damage and Lambeth Council clearances.

For the seeker of stories buried beneath layers of time, this blog draws a map where memories linger in gravestones and shifting landscapes. It resonates with those who cherish the beauty of change, who find poetry in the juxtaposition of history and the present. Here, each photograph is a whisper from the past, inviting reflection on what endures and what fades.
