Camberwell New Cemetery

Before we arrived here today we phoned the office as we wanted to find our family member today. We went into the office on the right hand side (of the main entrance) and a kind lady printed out a map for the grave but because we were not very specific we were given the grave number of the other family members.

We then called the office and to cut a long story short we had a look around for about an hour and rung the office 1 minute before they closed. A nice boy answered the phone and came out on his bike several times (bless him) and showed us specifically where our family members grave was. We had a good conversation with him and found him very helpful! And even gave us a map!

A very quiet cemetery. It's sad to see that not many people visit these deserted graves. All I ever see are those that walk their dogs or joggers passing through.

They have a playground area for the kids to play.

There is also a view of houses and the countryside in the distance.

this is a lovely place so peaceful my mum & dad are buried here

In the forty years since both my parents died I had never visited their grave and although I had the minimum of information to go on I rang the cemetery in the hope of finding them. I cannot praise the help I received from the lady I spoke to (Nichol) highly enough. She not only supplied me with reference numbers but also plot numbers and, being even more helpful, sent me a map of the cemetery with the plot numbers marked on it. In this day and age I do not expect (or usually get) this kind of caring service. As I had to travel some distance to the cemetery I cannot thank Nichol enough as it made my trip so much easier.

Here lies the graves of boxing royalty in Freddie Mills, Tommy Gibbons and Beryl Gibbons. Pay your respects if a boxing fan and nearby…. 🌸 🥊
