Had an after school job cleaning graves. Had the fright of my life when the bell started up.. fled in terror and never went back!
This cemetery building and a smaller one at the top of the hill fell into ruin, and during the 1960s these used to be our camps where we used to hang out as kids. The dilapidated chapel in the middle of the cemetery was also open to being explored and played in. It was quite dangerous by today's standards, but in those days nobody really cared.
