Hackney Cemetery, Lauriston Road, London E9: (United Synagogue) (disused) +44 20 8985 1527:

Purchased by the Hambro Synagogue in 1788, this ground is situated in Lauriston Road (formerly Grove St.), a little to the north of Royal Gate East, Victoria Park, Hackney. It was closed by Order of Council in 1886. The cemetery books kept by the Hambro Synagogue secretary, except for 1788-1813. Books do not list gravesites. In addition, many entries lack dates. Vandalism has destroyed many headstones. Those still intact are mostly illegible. "2.25 acres; not entirely enclosed by high walls grassed rather than cindered." (Text quoted from book London Cemeteries by Hugh Meller). Hackney Cemetery (Orthodox), Lauriston Road (1788-1886) http://www.gendocs.demon.co.uk/cem.html
