More about this scene
With a shortage of burial places in the capital, the London Necropolis Company bought 2,000 acres of heathland at Brookwood and laid out one-fifth of it as a cemetery. From 1854 onwards, the 'great and the good' and ordinary mortals too were laid to rest there. The growth of the village followed later. The Connaught Cafe, seen here on the left, is now a private house, but the post office next door remains.
