Shandy Park is a green space a few blocks due south of this site. It was opened in 1837 as the East London Cemetery with its own chapel, by local landowner, John Thomas Barber Beaumont. Beaumont arranged for his own tomb to be at the centre of the cemetery, in front of the chapel, marked out by immense pedestals of granite. The cemetery closed for burials in 1853, and was landscaped as Shandy Park in 1885. Quite short-lived so we are lucky it was caught on this 1870 map.
