tango2 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 wouldnt think it would be a problem,its very public up there,all the paths have been replaced. Allthough it may be common courtesty to ask,they may even be glad of some further info or investigation. Ive got a few pics of the site if you want them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleracer Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I used to live above the cemetery and used to walk through it in the early hours as a short cut from Hillsbrough. It was overgrown and very very spooky then (early 80s) and i came through it again last September during the day and it was all smartend up. I never realised that the railway ran through it but it does now that tango mentioned it and there is also an American Red Indian burried there to. He was one of the onterage of Bufflo Bill when he came to Sheffield last century. He apparrantly came down with a fever and died so he was layed to rest in Wards end. The cemetery is haunted although i never saw anything when i went through it, I was always eager to get through it and did'nt hang around to find out.

PopT Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Does anyone remember courting in the meadows or the site of '****ten Entry'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mer1002 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Had a wander over the 'meadow's' (Shirecliffe down to Hillsborough)...and passed through a really old graveyard....some of the graves going back to the early 1800's. The place is a shambles...with headstones vandalised,the area is completely overgrown,and littered with burnt out bikes,fridges,tele's,and allsort's of other trash. Thing is......there were some fresh flowers that had been placed on some of the graves,so it's obviously close to some people's heart's ! Anyone know anything about this old graveyard ? (it's really close to coopers scrap yard,at the rear of Bassetts) Just seem's a shame that it's in such a poor state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalRegular Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I know it's called Wardsend cemetery but don't know if it's still used. Apparently, there are graves there of soldiers from the Hillsborough barracks who died in the Sheffield flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharston Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I believe there's a Friends of Wardsend Cemetery that tries to do what it can. -- JGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon51 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Have been there for a look around. Ayone else ever seen the gravestone that's been chiselled in half so that the railway people could erect the fencing? Not moved a foot or so, just chiselled in half!
