Highgate Cemetery was opened in 1839.  These photos are from the old part of the cemetery known as
        West Highgate. It is terraced, and thickly overgrown with ivy. A very romantic air seems palpable in this
        quiet place. Highgate has a curious and morbid history, including midnight exhumations by a poet who had
        buried his work with his true love, and defilements by a so-called vampire hunter.
