Highgate Cemetery, located in
Highgate,
London,
England, was opened in
1839 as part of an initiative to provide seven large, modern cemeteries in a ring round the outside of London. Highgate was a fashionable place for burials. The
Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of
Gothic tombs and buildings.Photo credit:
