I took a walk through West Norwood Cemetary recently and right by the main
entrance was a monument to the wife of Mr Gallup (he of the opinion polls)
with a black and white photo in the middle. IIRC this monument dates from
around 1880.

Its worn very well & looks quite classy actually.

i posted some photo's onto

Lots of the good & the great were buried there - there's more listed
buildings in there than in Highgate.

Rgds, Bob.
