Congratulations to Sheffield General Cemetery, sometimes described as "an outdoor museum", on being given the Green Flag Award.
This means that it is recognised as a well-managed park/green space, setting the benchmark standard for recreational outdoor spaces. According to Sally Puddifoot, the landscape conservation manager for the Sheffield General Cemetery Trust, the award is a recognition of 30 years of work.
Works at the cemetery funded to the tune of £3.8m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund's Parks for People Programme finished last year. The cemetery, with burials from 1836 to the 1950s, was conceived as a "garden cemetery". Perhaps we should arrange to have an Outdoor Service there?
