Talk:Warstone Lane Cemetery

Date of Lodge
"The foundation stone for the chapel (demolished 1954) was laid on 6 April 1847. The blue brick lodge gate (Hamilton & Medland 1948) " - should that latter date be 1848? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

External links: JQRT and Friends
User:Maproom and now User:Theroadislong have deleted external links to the websites of the Jewellery Quarter Research Trust and Friends of Key Hill Cemetery & Warstone Lane Cemetery on the grounds that they are "spam". This is nonsense. These are the sites of two reputable and not-for-profit community groups that carry out research into, and work for the responsible preservation of, these two cemeteries (and the local area more generally). Their websites aren't particularly sophisticated, but the JQRT site includes a number of valuable historic documents and plans of the cemeteries, and both sites will be of interest to many readers of the article. I appreciate that User:Grave-matters has recently been adding the Friends link (misformatted) to the pages of a number of individuals buried in the cemeteries, and I agree that is quite inappropriate; but the links do belong here.

 * I have restored the links (before seeing this discussion) I am not involved with either group, but I do live in Birmingham and can confirm that both sites are from bona fide organisations. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:07, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
