Taken for 'The Sunday Challenge': "Show where you're standing"
This is a path in Basingstoke's Holy Ghost cemetery, made from 'redundant' gravestones.
The graveyard dates back to 1208. A lot's changed since AJ passed in 1741 when the town would have been supplied by horse and cart, in 1794 a canal was completed connecting the town to London, the railway followed in 1839 linking the town to London and Southampton. In the 1960s the historic town centre was flattened and replaced by a modern concrete shopping centre, an act of destruction that wouldn't be allowed today.
The graveyard also has Thomas Burberry's grave (founder of the Burberry clothing empire), Mrs Blunden who was supposedly buried alive, twice, starting a trend for graves to have a bell and bell pull in the coffin in case of mistakes, and to and Victoria Cross holder J A Liddle.
