Paths of the Dead - Warstone Lane Cemetery, JQ Birmingham
Warstone Lane Cemetery is a nexus of peace in the heart of the bustling Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham. Opened in 1848 to provide a last resting place for Birmingham's burgeoning population, the last burials were in 1982. A vast mausoleum, like a coliseum of the dead, was constructed in an old sand quarry. Thousands of Brummies were buried there but it also became an air raid shelter during WW2.
The fallen of two world wars are remembered by a cenotaph near the lodge and a newer memorial to the Great War of 1914-1918.
The thousands of gravestones are being photographed and recorded by The Jewellery Quarter Research Trust.
Warstone Lane Cemetery is also cared for by a friends group.

Warstone Lane Cemetery
Warstone Lane Cemetery in Hockley Birmingham, dates from 1847 and is one of two cemeteries located in the city's Jewellery Quarter.
A major feature is the two tiers of catacombs, whose unhealthy vapours led to the Birmingham Cemeteries Act which required that non-interred coffins should be sealed with lead or pitch.

ENGLAND: EXPLORING the LARGEST and most HISTORIC CEMETERY in BIRMINGHAM (WITTON) ⚱️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Witton Cemetery which opened in Witton in 1863 as Birmingham City Cemetery and which is the largest cemetery in Birmingham, England. Covering an area of 103 acres (0.42 km2), it once had three chapels; however, two of these were demolished in 1980. The cemetery would perform up to 20 burials a day; however, it was declared full to capacity in December 2013, allowing burials only in existing family plots, or of babies or cremated remains.
England, birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles, is a country in the British Isles bordering Scotland and Wales. The capital, London, on the River Thames, is home of Parliament, Big Ben and the 11th-century Tower of London. It's also a multicultural, modern hub for the arts and business. Other large cities are Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and the university centres of Oxford and Cambridge.

The haunted Catacombs of Warstone Cemetery
A site survey of Warstone Cemetery, also called Brookfield, opended 1847 in Birmingham. Now derelict and abandoned. The church which once stood was destroyed on 11th December 1940 during a bombing raid by the Luftwaffe.
The catacombs are said to be haunted by several Ghosts, being a site of mass hauntings. Dark spectral apparitions have been seen drifting out of their sepulchral resting places.
Notable Ghosts include a woman dressed in 1930's clothing, who leaves the smell of peardrops in her wake, a sign of arsenic poisoning. Also a young soldier dressed in a 2nd World War trenchcoat. Both of these Ghosts are rare in that they have been known to interact with the living and seem conscious of living peoples presence. The woman has been known to look at people and smile before vanishing, it has been reported that she once nearly caused a car to crash, and the soldier has been known to speak !
It is also reported that someone once actually had a small conversation with the soldier before he vanished. Most Ghosts do not act as such. . . .
The area used to be known as Dead Mans Lane - due to a gallows which existed nearby for public executions. This would have predated the opening of the cemetery but the many other hauntings could be linked to this, the dead being buried in unhallowed ground. Warstone Cemetery is very close to Key Hill Cemetery, opended in 1836 - which is another haunted Necropolis, being divided only by the Jewelry Quarter Railway Station.
Those who have witnessed these hauntings say they are always preceeded by a ghastly smell of rotting flesh.

THE LAST CHANCE TO SEE PARK STREET CEMETERY. . . .
***(As of 21/01/2019 - Park Street Cemetery is now destroyed and gone forever)***
A survey of the haunted site. Park Street Cemetery, Birmingham. Opened in 1807 as a burial ground to nearby St. Martin's Church. By 1848 it only accepted family burials. For 66 years Park Street accepted the dead until 1873 when burials stopped. In 1879 it became a park and in 1894 1151 coffins were dug up and moved to Witton Cemetery with many of the gravestones.
Park Street has been a park now for over 100 years, since 1879, but the earth still holds the remains of Birmingham's ancestors. Whole families - from Grand parents to Grand children - lie together in eternal peace. Together in death as they were in life. . .
Soon all these families will be ripped apart when the whole of Park Street is destroyed and gone forever. The looming shadow of High Speed 2 (HS2) - a planned railway line cuts right through this area of Birmingham. Not only will that mean a beautiful little park is lost forever - but the remains of the dead, whole families, will be crushed to dust. With not a care for the dead, for history, for legacy, for nature.
The ONLY benefit of HS2 is to the rich and their politician friends. Up and down the country people will be legally forced from their homes to clear a path for HS2. Villages cut apart, homes destroyed, ancient woodlands despoiled, and now the Rape of the Dead. . . . HS2 cares about nothing but profit.
The dead don't want to be disturbed - they want to rest in peace with their beloved families. Park Street already has a reputation for being haunted - how will the Ghosts of Park Street react to the brutal and pointless destruction of their home ? And how will they react to their bones being bulldozed ? Expect a spike in recorded Ghost Sightings in Park Street should this Rape of the Dead take place.
HS2 cares nothing about the dead, neither does it care about the living. Only Capitalistic Profit. Profit and Greed. Perhaps the Ghosts of Park Street will fight back ?
This upload is for the sake of posterity. So that in the future when the Park and Cemetery have been wiped from the land people may see a recording of their lost heritage.
Remember the dead of Park Street. Remember that whole families lie together in the earth. For soon they will be gone.

The forgotten Victorian graves of Yardley Cemetery
A site survey. Yardley Cemetery is located in the district of Yardley, one of the most historic districts within the city of Birmingham, England. Founded in 1883, it covers 64 acres. Yardley Cemetery is one of seven municipal Victorian Cemeteries which exist within the city :
Key Hill (1836)
Warstone (1848)
Witton (1863)
Yardley (1883)
The Uplands (1890)
Lodge Hill (1895)
Brandwood End (1899)
This footage was captured and uploaded for the sake of posterity - to record the beautiful legacy of Victorian grave and headstones. Many of the Victorian graves at Yardley are in a sad state of decay - after 140 years of exposure to the elements, time and vandalism. Most have not been tended by surviving relatives in decades.
This rapidly vanishing legacy of our Victorian history is replicated on a national and even international level. Give it another 20 or 30 years and all remaining examples of beautiful Victorian Necro - Erotic graves will have gone forever. These unattended, forgotten, abandoned graves have been frozen in time within this upload, so that when they are gone, future generations will still be able to view their vanished heritage.

Haunted Graveyards : The Plague Pit of Bickenhill Church
Originally a Saxon settlement called Bichehelle ( Bica's Hill ), Bickenhill is a tiny hamlet close to Birmingham International Airport. St. Peter Church was built in 1140, in what was once part of the Forest of Arden.
In 1594 the Black Death swept through the region and Bickenhill suffered hard. 24 local people died from the horrific effects of the disease and were buried in a large Plague Pit. Given the small population, the 24 dead equates to 1 in 12 of the local residents. The graveyard of Bickenhill Church is haunted by the Ghosts of the 24 Plague Dead.
The last time their Ghosts were seen was in 1876, when a bolt of lightning struck and destroyed the church spire. As if the violence of the incident awoke them from their sleep.
The graveyard is strange in that it seems to disrupt modern technological equipment. During the filming of this video, as you can see, the contrast went crazy in parts, ranging from pitch black to blinding brightness. . . This has never happened before in over 40 site surveys of other haunted sites.
Bickenhill Church and the very hamlet itself is under threat of total demolition from the proposed second runway at Birmingham Airport, it is already under a direct flightpath. It is possible that after a 1000 years of history - this hamlet could soon be wiped from the land and nothing but a concrete runway would remain.
How will the Ghosts of Bickenhill's Plague Pit respond to that ?
The Ghosts seem to be benign, unless they are provoked into action by violent upheaval around them. They haven't materialised before human eyes since 1876, but seem content with disrupting electronic equipment.
If you treat the Plague Dead Ghosts with respect, they seem to respect you back.

The top of the catacombs sits the tomb of businessman John Baskervillle. While his name lends itself to the famous typeface, the story of his death, or rather the treatment of his corpse, is far more interesting. I’ll try to provide a short summary, however I urge you to follow the further reading links at the bottom of the post. When John Baskerville died in 1775, he was a very successful and wealthy man, but also a confirmed atheist. In his will, he provided strict instructions as to the treatment of his body. Baskerville was not only buried upright, but in an air-tight lead-lined coffin. Initially, these wishes were carried out and old Baskerville was interred in a small mausoleum in the grounds of his house Easy Hill, where he rested for many years. However, in 1821, workmen digging for gravel disinterred Baskerville’s coffin, where is subsequently laid unclaimed by relatives. As Baskerville was unwanted and an outspoken atheist, no cemetery would inter him and his decayed body created somewhat of a quandary. For several years, it rested in the warehouse of Thomas Gibson, the man whose business stood in the place of the old Baskerville House. Being an entrepreneurial sort, Gibson would occasionally open Baskerville’s coffin to curious visitors at the cost of 6d a peek. Oweing to Baskervilles method of burial, he was remarkably well preserved. A visitor, Thomas Underwood, sketched Baskerville’s body in August 1829 and recorded that –
“his body was, after forty-six years underground, in a singular state of preservation. It was wrapped in a white linen shroud with a branch of laurel, faded but firm in texture. The skin on the face was dry but perfect. The eyes were gone, but eye brows, the eye lashes, lips and teeth remained. The skin on the abdomen and body generally was in the same state with the face. An unpleasant smell strongly resembling decayed cheese arose from the body, and rendered it necessary to close the coffin quickly.”
Visitors notwithstanding, being stored in a warehouse didn’t suit the fast-putrifying businessman and Baskerville soon changed hands. Plumber John Marston soon found himself the new guardian of Baskerville and was decidedly less conscientious about opening the coffin. Soon, visitors to his corpse (oh yes, there were still visitors) were overcome by the smell of putrefaction and Baskerville had to go. At this stage, Baskerville’s state was less than pretty, but still, no-one would bury his remains. After a series of underhand machinations on the part of Marston, Baskerville was buried in the catacombs beneath Christ Church. However, Baskerville was denied his rest once more when Christ Church was demolished in 1899 and he – along with 600 other internees – was finally laid to rest at Warstone. His one wish of rejecting burial on consecrated ground was not to be. Today his manhandled remains have the best view of the cemetery, which, although pleasant. No doubt would have provided no small comfort.
