The three older, 19th Century, stones are from SheffieldGenCemetery, but they are now in #Crookes Cemetery (which opened in 1909), probably retrieved when parts of the General Cemetery were cleared in 1980. (The fourth, more recent, stone is unreadable) #SheffieldBurialGrounds

Wow, a dazzling Ionic capital from the newly excavated Theatre of Nero in Vatican City, seemingly carved from rare and colourful banded fluorite! Most intriguingly, Pliny the Elder's description of 'Nero's Theatre across the Tiber where the emperor rehearsed his musical

Erosion of an (unofficial) slate gravestone 2014-2024 WalkleyCemetery #Sheffield I can't tell if this was placed on a particular (human) grave or if this spot was chosen more at random in a secluded part of the cemetery. #sheffieldburialgrounds #RIP Snuggles and Sheba
