Established in 1854, the London Necropolis Railway aimed to relieve pressure on overcrowded city churchyards by whisking the dead out to Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey. Its station, near Waterloo, featured a steam-powered coffin lift & a glass roof so no shadow would be cast on the hearse carriage. Nearby railway arches acted as mortuaries and coffins were kept in stock so guests dying unexpectedly in hotels could be discreetly removed. The station contained many waiting rooms, in which funeral services could be held, and customers could purchase first, second and third-class funeral packages. The service wound down after World War II, but the station office building can still be seen on Westminster Bridge Road. #WyrdWednesday #history #gothic #folklore #architecture #death #weird #trains #railway #London #psychogeography #graveyard

Topic of Discussion: Grief 💔🕊️
This one… it’s the kind of grief people don’t talk about enough.When a cat is gone, it’s not just their body you miss. It’s the movement. The background sounds that used to fill the house without you even noticing.
That silence can be the hardest part because it sneaks up on you in ordinary moments.
Prompt : What sound do you miss the most?
