Latest TLTV Episode:
#99 - The Necropolis Cemetery
|
|
Located in the Cabbagetown area of Toronto (more
on that in a future episode of TLTV!) The
Necropolis Cemetery is likely the oldest
remaining cemetery in The GTA. Comprising 18
acres, it was opened to replace the Potter's
Field which was located on the north-west corner
of Bloor and Yonge Streets and had simply become
too crowded. The first interment in the
Necropolis took place on May 22, 1850. Within
these ground are buried many of those originally
interred in Potter's Field including citizens in
every walk of life and some who occupied
positions of eminence in the city. The present
chapel, and lodge were built in 1872. The
crematorium, the first in Ontario, was opened in
1933. In the grounds are numerous interesting
memorials and many unusual species of trees and
shrubs.
The cemetery has a lonely, slightly eerie feel
even at midday. That is likely because of the
large old trees that provide lots of darker
shaded areas as well as a number of secluded
small valleys throughout the grounds. Even so,
this place is definitely worth the trip. As you
will see in the video it is full of beautiful
old reminders of long ago.
