Lost Jewish Cemetery in Bristol??

[peter nicholl]

A few years ago, when I worked in Bristol, I came across what appeared to be a derelict Jewish Cemetery around the back of Temple Mills Station. It was behind a long and tall brickwall. There was an Iron gate and the place looked overgrown. It definitely seemed Jewish as the headstone inscriptions were in Hebrew. Does anyone have any information on it, just to satisfy my curiosity?

My apoligies, my knowledge of Bristol is woefully lacking - would the following URL relate to the cemetery?

There are a few Jewish cemeteries in Bristol. From your description, it may be St. Phillips Cemetery...

Thanks Geoffers but it's not Arnos Vale. Arnos Vale is one of those where its owners want to close it and the locals are up in arms, or were when I worked in Bristol.

Could it be Tower Hamlet's Cemetery, Tracey? I think that is about the right place for it :) Did a quick Google and found www.
towerhamletscemetery.org/ I seem to remember going there with a friend who was looking for a grave many moons ago, but we gave up after a very short space of time.....
