Off The Beaten Path: Brentwood cemeteries
  • Tip Rating:
  • Forget the land of the living while in Brentwood. You'll have much more fun with the dead.
    There are a couple of cemeteries where I like to spend time. One is in Woodman Road, the other in Lorne Road, both near to where I live. Morbid, I hear you say? Well, maybe, but I have my reasons. Unlike the rest of the the town, that never stays still, there seems to be a degree of calm and continuity within the cemeteries. I find them good places to reflect on my life, especially while looking around and seeing how young some of the people were when they died. Brentwood used to have an army barracks and there are many graves of soldiers from WW1 that were only aged around 20 when they were killed in action.
    For nature lovers, the cemeteries are good places too. Lots of wild flowers and native birds abound. Lorne Road cemetery has a population of urban foxes that can be seen here when they are not out and about foraging in the rubbish bins of Brentwood.

     This shop has now closed down. I am not sorry about this fact. They wouldn't accept one of my banknotes a couple of years back, even though I had just got the money from the bank.

     Quality! Someone standing up for the Essex front! Seriously, I live in E/London and have friends in Colchester and Chelmsford and every time I take the train out there I always think there's some really pretty countryside and towns in Essex.
