The Egyptian Avenue, Highgate Cemetery, London, 1945-1980. Artist: Eric de Maré

The Egyptian Avenue, Highgate Cemetery, Highgate, Hampstead, London, 1945-1980. View of a street of family vaults inspired by ancient Egyptian tombs. These catacombs are a striking feature and the path leads off the famous Circle of Lebanon, a sunken ring of tombs around a cedar tree. Highgate Cemetery, the third private cemetery on the fringe of London, was opened in 1839.
