Body
Two small upright gravestones in the Dargan Road cemetery. The photograph was taken in 1975 by C. L. Dunham and the description provided by Dr. Lucia Dunham of Washington DC.
It is possibly that these gravestones mark the graves of men who died in the cholera epidemic that affected canal workers.
