CEMETERY AND ISOLATION HOSPITAL - 1902

View across the Ouse Valley

By Laurie Stonehouse and Graham Amy

This old picture postcard appears to have been taken from high up in a tree near the 4th fairway off the Peacehaven golf course.  The buildings at the bottom of the slope are the cemetery and the isolation hospital; the River Ouse appears to be at high tide.  In the far distance, in the left corner of the picture is the South Heighton cement works, whilst over to the right of the picture there are just a few buildings in South Heighton.  The adjoining land is completely void of any houses, with just tracks crossing the field.
