The Brompton Cemetery, which lies between London's Fulham and Old Brompton roads, means a variety of things to a variety of people. For some it holds dear memories and graves to be tended. For others it is an island of peace in the noise of London. For the curious it offers a fantastic range of monuments to mortality. 1955 Looking a bit like Father Time, the gardener sets out, with his scythe, to mow the long grass. ©2006 TopFoto/Ken Russell
