That's fascinating. I'm surprised I've heard so little about this in
the newspapers and on the broadcast news, I'd have expected more
controversy.

If the Midland could dig up thousands of festering corpses without too
much of a kerfuffle why would there be controversy 140 years later over
a few odd bones? Frenchmen's bones at that!

I was a gravedigger in the school holidays many years ago in Epsom. In
the chalklands bodies rot away after 50 years, the gravestone is cleared
and the plot is resold.

There's an 1827 map of the St Pancras area showing the churchyards half
way down this link.

What bones and all?...

Huh? That is a freebie website with a scrapbook I put together re
Marrantz's query about what looked like it was the Fleet River but
turned out to be the old Parcel Hall.

Or are you saying you can't download the pictures? If you can find the
St George's & Bloomsbury Burial Ground you can detect Cooks Row by the
kink in what is now Pancras Road and so overlay the modern railway on
to the 1827 map. Or do I have to do another scrapbook?

In case you didn't know "whois" is the official way of discovering
things about low-level stuff on the Internet - DNS names, address
assignments and so on. The entry suggests that 150m.com has breached
somebody's terms and conditions and isn't (currently) available. Some
parts of the Internet may still have working details cached but people
who haven't been there before can't get there now.

....is very much up and running but I take your point. Here's the 1827
map, Cooks Row bottom right.

No the site wasn't going any where earlier, but its fine now apart when
you click on the pictures as if to expand them, they come back original
size.

Anyway apart from that, very interesting....

In the Cemetery: Thomas Hardy

"You see those mothers squabbling there?"
Remarks the man of the cemetery.
"One says in tears, ''Tis mine lies here!'
Another, 'Nay, mine, you Pharisee!'
Another, 'How dare you move my flowers
And put your own on this grave of ours!'
But all their children were laid therein
At different times, like sprats in a tin.
"And then the main drain had to cross,
And we moved the lot some nights ago,
And packed them away in the general foss
With hundreds more. But their folks don't know,
And as well cry over a new-laid drain
As anything else, to ease your pain!"
