Greenbank Cemetery, 1900s, BRO43207/14/002

Postcard of Greenbank Cemetery, undated (probably early 1900s). The building in the centre is the Cemetery Lodge where the Superintendent of the cemetery lived. In the postcard, you can still see the building with its original spire which is missing nowadays. It is likely that it was removed in the postwar years at the same time like the spire of the Greenbank Chapel. To the right of the Lodge, you can still see the original path leading through to Clay Bottom. The cemetery was extended in the first decade of the twentieth century by the area which is marked in red in the 1900s map. As a consequence, the end of Greenbank Road was led around the new cemetery ground and the original end of the street became a path leading through the cemetery.
