It is fascinating to think that many hundreds of generations of
Londoners lie beneath the city without us knowing. Over many
centuries burial grounds have been developed, built over and then
forgotten, often beneath playgrounds, gardens or car parks. When
modern development takes place, remains are disturbed and we are
reminded of a London that has long since disappeared, particularly
with recent archaeological discoveries across the city. In London's
Hidden Burial Grounds, authors Robert Bard and Adrian Miles seek to
uncover many of the capital's lost graveyards, often in the
unlikeliest of places.
