BOHERMORE CEMETERY AUGUST 2016 10/08/2016

When I first published a collection of photographs from Bohermore Cemetery in August 2016, I was met with some thoughtful objections. My description of it as a "Victorian Cemetery" was questioned by a few, who rightly pointed out that it did not possess all the typical attributes they associated with that term. This prompted me to look deeper into the cemetery's history and consider the nuances of such labels.
