NELSON CEMETERY |
© Susan Eldridge August 2002
Location
Nelson Cemetery is on Walton Lane, Nelson.
OS ref. 103: SD873 383
All the graves marked by a white cwg style stone are always very tended and in the summer months have flowers planted as shown in the above photo, although
these are actually 3 WW2 graves with that of S.Hall at the far end.
Information from the Commonwealth War Graves site states that there are 38 First World War graves and 20 Second World War graves in the cemetery. I have found and photographed all but one of these graves, the majority have a cwg stone.
