DESCRIPTION:
An early view of the 'New Cemetery' on Durham Road, Houghton-le-Spring. The Cemetery opened in 1892 but did not have a consecrated section until 1907.

Note the thick outline on the Lodge - this was glitter added to the photograph to jazz it up in the days of black and white photography!
