"Handsworth Cemetery, originally owned by Handsworth Parish Council, was opened in 1901. The first interment was held on 6 February 1901 and to date over 5000 burials have taken place. The cemetery covers 4 acres."( http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/how-we-work/bereavement/cemeteries/handsworth - accessed 11th July, 2005). The cemetery, which retains an original mortuary chapel has been expanded since 1935 to the east. Partial legibility of earlier piecemeal enclosure boundaries now manifested as large overgrown hedgerows.
