Drypool Cemetery, Hull - (disused one)

[bendywendy]

Hi everyone
I need help in locating where is / or where was the disused Drypool Cemetery, Hull please.
This is all the info I have about it other than it was classed as disused by 1947 regarding a report in the Hull Daily Mail regarding somone's memorial.

I am going through Hull tomorrow and would like to find this cemetery, although after reading much about disused cemeteries within Drypool areas some of these are now under grass etc..

Also anyone know which church it would have been attached too and what name the burial registers will be under at Hull History Centre.

Kind regards

Hull History Centre have MI's for Drypool Burial Ground, Hedon Road, does anyone know if this is the current cemetery or the disused one as I cannot even locate the current cemetery.

Hi

An old map of Hull c1915 shows a cemetery on Hedon Road between Ferries Street and Lee Smith Street, The times I've gone along Hedon Road, I've never seen it so assume that it had been built over, it certainly isn't the big cemetery which is further along the road past the prison.

For the church records its' St Peter Drypool until 1878 then St Andrew.

happy hunting
Bee

Hello again

Just found another map dated 1908, on the north side of Hedon Road just east of Ferries Street is the Drypool & Southcoates cemetery, in the corner of which is St Bartholomew's church which was consecrated in 1891 and demolished in 1929

Hi Bee
Looking on google maps, there is a large patch of grass, wonder if that is the old disused Drypool Cemetery.
I had a look on National Archives and they hold vasts amount of info for this cemetery and it was St Andrew's, I wonder why this set of records is at the NA and not at the Hull History Centre ?
I wonder what happened to all the headstones ?

I've emailed my brother in law to ask that question as he lived in that area as a child.

Thanks Bee.
This is interesting info on Find a Grave:

Think I need a stiff drink after reading all that, does get confusing 

I will let you know how I get on finding any records at either Hull History or Treasure House, one or the other has some or all of the records.

I've just travelled along Hedon Road, courtesy of Google maps, and that is the disused Drypool cemetery.
