Last Year

Wednesday 23rd May. Caught up with a bit of washing before taking Di to meet up with Dinah to go to the theater. Spent some time in and around Wood Green Road, Brunswick Park and Cemetery, taking photos before everything has gone for ever.


This is the Park Lodge which is smaller than the old Cemetery Lodge, but sadly the Cemetery Lodge no longer exists.

The Lodge is adjacent to Wood Green Road and is the same design as the Cemetery Lodge.


This is all that's left of the iron railings and gate alongside the Cemetery Lodge. The house was to the left, between this front wall and the War Memorial just visible on the left.


Again, all that's left of the main gates to the cemetery.

You may be wondering why this is so important to me. My wonderful Grandmother lived in the Lodge with her second husband, Charles Pym, who was Park and Cemetery Superintendent. I spent a lot of my childhood here and have very happy memories of the lodge and its surrounds.

The rest of the day was spent shopping. Well actually it was more like checking out how things compared particularly in the areas of hardware. B & Q against our Bunnings stores. Still think I prefer Bunnings.
