Cross Bones cemetery




Long before my normal period, but this long forgotten cemetery with an unusual history is so amazing. For centuries Cross Bones was a burial site for outcasts. The bodies of 15,000 paupers and prostitutes are believed to have been buried here before it was closed more than 150 years ago.
