Cross Bones
Cross Bones is a post-medieval disused burial ground in The Borough, Southwark, south London, in what is now known as Redcross Way.
==Origins and closure==
Cross Bones is on the east side of Union Street bounded by properties on Borough High Street.
It was closed in 1853 because it was "completely overcharged with dead", and further burials were deemed "inconsistent with a due regard for the public health and public decency".〔MoLAS monograph. ''The Cross Bones Burial Ground, Redcross Way, Southwark, London''. Museum of London, 1999, pp. vii, 4, 29; ("Cross Bones Graveyard" ), Southwark Council, retrieved 25 December 2007; Walsh, John. ("Tales of the City: At the Cross Bones graveyard you can almost hear" ), ''The Independent'', 14 March 2006.〕 Southwark poet and playwright John Constable writes that, in 1883, the land was sold as a building site, prompting an objection from Lord Brabazon in a letter to ''The Times'', asking that the land be saved from "such desecration".〔Lord Brabazon, Letter to the Editor, ''The Times'', 10 November 1883, cited in Constable, John. ("Cross Bones graveyard' ), The Southwark Mysteries website, 2005, retrieved 19 January 2008.〕 Constable writes that the sale was declared null and void the following year under the Disused Burial Grounds Act 1884, and that subsequent attempts to develop the site were opposed by local people, as was its brief use as a fairground. However, after removal of remains to the parish facilities at Brookwood the site was covered in warehousing and other commercial buildings. The Jubilee Line Extension required this and other neighbouring sites to be used for construction purposes and a new electricity sub station. This required a formal archaeological dig as a requirement of the comprehensive redevelopment of the site.〔Constable, John.
