Hi
I am a volunteer at the Sculcoates Northern Cemetery and it has been recognised as part of a green wildlife corridor running through Hull with a high score for biodiversity. It has been renovated by the Sculcoates Neighbourhood Association and Friends of the Earth, among others. It is open to the public and the gates or not locked even though they look like they might be
On Saturday we had an event day where members of the public and other organisations like the local family history group attended to share information about relatives that may have been buried there.
Certain graves have been identified by members of the public and a path to those graves have been cut through the vegetation. Unattended graves will be maintained as a managed wildlife area.
It really is a beautiful place to visit (I think) but a large project nonetheless and hopefully in time the litter ridden, overgrown cemetery on the south side will get the same treatment.
Here is a link to the Family History Group in the area if anyone would like any more information.
