Lions

George Wombwell a managerist, Highgate cemetery London. Wombwell began his menagerie by exhibiting two boa constrictor snakes which he wheeled around various pubs in London in Victorian times. His monument is of one of his lions Nero. A rival managerist also has a lion monument which is slightly smaller in Abney Park cemetery London (bottom photo.)

Abney Park Paupers Graves

Abney Park Cemetery, London. Tightly packed paupers graves. These were actually one step up from a pauper’s pit where the poor or unclaimed bodies would be buried, often without an inscription plaque listing who was interred there. The price for one of these small headstones was around a shilling and for a further one penny you could have a name inscribed on it.

This one made me smile, I guess he loved his car.
