Old Chapel at Greenbank Cemetery in Bristol

Looking towards the old chapel at Greenbank Cemetery. Built in 1871, and extended in 1880, the cemetery was the first large Bristol burial ground to be created after the better known, and much visited, Arnos Vale. The North East part of the cemetery holds the remains of civilians who died in the Bristol Blitz. In the North West corner there is a military cemetery for British & Commonwealth servicemen which also contains the graves of German Luftwaffe crew killed in the bombing.

Greenbank is a small area between Easton, Eastville and Fishponds.
