Welford Road Cemetery – A Gruesome Death

Life in the 19^th and early 20^th centuries was a dangerous business for much of the population.

Industrial accidents and disease were rife. Horrible as these were there were always those who suffered a particularly unpleasant and gruesome death. This guided walk will take you to the graves of some of these unfortunate people.

Please note that you should wear appropriate footwear as we will on occasions be walking over grassy areas within the cemetery.

N.B. This guided walk will cost £6 for members and non-members.

Finish at approximately 12.30pm

Refreshments will be available after the walk and a chance to look around the Visitor Centre.
