Enquiries stuartswinburne@gmail.com
Details Cardiff's population grew faster than any other town or city in the world during the 19th century. As well as the pressure on housing and general infrastructure the mass immigration brought with it, there came a pressure on burial grounds to accommodate the often too early demise of its new residents. Ted Richards will take us through the development of the, then, main cemetery in Cardiff, a story of often conflicting pressures and the people central to the story.
