Cemeteries

• Abney Park Cemetery, London, England
  Abney Park is a large London Cemetery, originally laid out in 1840 as one of a group of new burial grounds designed to relieve pressure on over-crowded churchyards. It was abandoned by the cemetery company over twenty-five years ago, and as a site now has the nature of an urban forest. It is being managed as a nature reserve as well as a local leisure resource and an active, working cemetery. Since negotiating a lease on the cemetery in 1992 the Trust works to protect the cemetery from further neglect and promote educational and training projects for residents of north London.

Immigration (mostly out of UK)

• Assisted Immigrants Index
  The United Kingdom assisted people in their attempt to immigrate to New South Wales by subsidizing in part or whole through several assisted immigration plans.
