Welcome out on another explore.
This time I am joined by Phil, Ande, and Ande’s lad, Jake.
We’re in the historical city of Nottingham in the east midlands of England, and we’ve come to have an explore of the famous Castle Cemetery.
Known locally as ‘Rock’ Cemetery, the thirteen acre site was build in 1856 inside a disused sandstone quarry.
The area was once where the city’s public executions took place, and so this part of Nottingham has for the last few hundred years, been overwhelmingly connected with death.
Many great industrialists, politicians, architects and the cream of Nottingham’s high society are buried here, with each grave grander and larger, than the next.
But there is an area within the cemetery called ‘The Paupers Pit’ and sadly, it's exactly what it says on the tin. Around the end of the 1800s Nottingham, had become so impoverished that many could not afford a funeral, or a gravestone, and so they were merely thrown into the paupers pit, often more than twenty to a grave.
Just in this small paupers section of Rock Cemetery, 20,000 bodies lay, with the youngest age inscription reading ‘five minutes’.
Heartbreaking.
