About this postcard

Masbro Cemetery in Rotherham, shown as a quiet burial ground with two Gothic Revival stone churches, one with a tall spire and the other with a shorter spire. Gravestones and bare trees fill the foreground, and a single figure sits on a bench near the center. The paired Gothic buildings are typical of Victorian cemetery design, where separate chapels often served Anglican and Nonconformist burials. Masbro, usually spelled Masbrough, was an industrial district of Rotherham, and the cemetery served the growing town in the early 20th century.
