Birmingham’s first Jewish cemetery, Colmore Row Jewish burial Ground. (1730s-1740s)
Near Colmore Row/Little Colmore Street and was close to where NS. was constructed.

LNWR encountered burial ground during construction, bodies exhumed and reinterred at Granville Street.

Platforms 4-6 closest to original burial site.
