Thanks for letting us know about that mjay, really interesting. I'm of the age where I remember the graveyard being there before it was blocked off and it was still over run with weeds even way back then when I worked in Dudley in the 1960s.

Let's hope that they manage to get it cleared and tidied up then do an up-to-date video.
