More about this scene
From the work-yard of George Dixon, builder and mason, we look down on a surviving Penrith institution, Brunswick Road Junior School. The small louvered bell tower overlooks a playground still in use. New substantial dwellings for the town's burgeoning middle class rise up towards Beacon Hill. There, beneath woods owned and managed by the Lowther Estate, the large municipal Penrith Cemetery was opened in 1872 to meet the needs of the expanding town.
