説明On Wednesday 8th June 2016 I visited the University Campus and while returning to the City centre by bus I noticed a large cemetery so I got off and visited what turned out to be Mount St. Lawrence’s Cemetery.The cemetery looks very different to the major cemeteries here in Dublin because of the colour of the ground. There was little or no green to be seen. There was lots of rusted railings, very dry ground and brown or dead grass and plants. Maybe they have an aggressive weedkiller programme. I used a wide-angle Zeiss Batis 25mm Lens and I processed the images using the latest version of Lightroom [ver 2015.6] which was released yesterday [09/06/2016].I would describe the place as being rather ugly but is does feature many interesting gravestones and crosses. Despite the obvious vandalism many of the graves and headstones were in good condition when compared to Mount Jerome in Dublin.Mount St. Lawrence was opened in 1849, originally it formed part of the larger medieval parish of St. Lawrence in Limerick. It is estimated that over 70,000 individuals have been interred in the older section of Mount St. Lawrence between 1855 and 2009. Mount St Lawrence graveyard, located in the South Liberties of Limerick, has been the primary place of burial in Limerick City for all strata of society since its opening. Its development was initiated as burial ground capacity elsewhere in the city was placed under pressure following cholera epidemics in the 1830’s and the Great Famine in the 1840’s. Mount Saint Lawrence contains plots reserved for particular groups, including religious and diocesan graves and the Republican plot. One of the largest is the Good Shepherd Plot where 241 women who had passed through its reformatory for girls, industrial school and Magdalene asylum on Clare Street were buried. They were unmarked until a campaign resulted in the erection of markers listing by name the women interred there.An extension to Mount St Lawrence was opened in 1960. The management of the cemetery was transferred from the Church to the Limerick City Council in 1979.‘Poor Squares’ are located mainly in the far top left corner of the graveyard. While the prominent families are located along the central path leading to the church, many are close to the church. This area has had many problems with vandalism. Headstones, graves, plaques and the church itself have become vandalised and tampered with. The clustered graves and dishevelled architecture has made this a rather infamous landmark in the city. There is a very large number of young adults and children interred in the cemetery. Burial records show that the average life expectancy was 38 years in the 19th century, with a high infant mortality rate. 42% of all deaths in 1870 in Limerick were children. In 2014 Limerick City and County Council entered into an agreement with Limerick Civic Trust to carry out conservation works to the mortuary chapel and also to clean and repair old headstones marking many of the old graves.
