Nick Peacey, for allowing use of his piece on
the ballooning Smiths and Spencers,
Richard Baldwin, of the Camden office
at St Pancras & Islington Cemetery,
for pointing out some of the graves featured
and for providing information,
and the late
Tom Funk, for the illustration above.
The illustration on the home page is taken from a nineteenth-century print published by N. Currier in New York, and the epigraph is from Thucydides II.43, in the translation by Benjamin Jowett (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1881).
Some of these pieces first appeared in a slightly different form in the East Finchley community newspaper The Archer.
No graves were desecrated or corpses disinterred
in the production of this website.
