Hi Rosie
Yes the one in ickneild street was a very nicely built in a large white stone brick work
It was built on the high ground ,
I do not know whether or not you was familiar with that cemetery ,but in those days
Right up until the late sixtys the cemetery had huge great railings mounted on a four feet wall
All across the frontage in green huge railings with two huge front gates with brick pillars
Either side of the gates they was larger than the front railings coming along Ickneild street
Right up to the rail way bridge and that wall you have mentioniond
On the entrance into the cemetery grounds, it was a high rise drive up the paths
And at the top of the paths was the chapel ,and you had to walk up about four or five steps
To reach the two front big long doors which was glass doors
You could see the chapel from the front gates as you was passing
It was a beautiful look at from the gates it had that roman style look and very Gothic looking as well
To be honest Rosie this cemetery and the chapel was discussed on hear about 12 years back now
On this forum and I do know that some where or some one did have a picture of this chapel
And put it on but obvisiuosly they was lost or may be an member is no longer with us whom may have it
Still not to worry I have the memory of it in my head ,as I said I past it every day of the years
Of living up spring hill and traveling to ickneld school every day either on my bus tokens
Or walking past to and from school three times a day
Oh ,and when I was older trapping down to the pubs of key hill coming back half cut
In my younger days , that was then image run pubs and clubs but I never did drink like most gathers did
In the business I was a tea total and still is,
Rosei , best of wishes as always Alan,,,,, Astonian,,,,,
