This gave rise to the setting up of the Marlpool Cemetery. Perhaps the burial ground was covered over when the Centenary Hall (also now gone) was built in 1904?

They were situated on a narrow strip of ground, approximately 50 feet wide, and reached right to the back of the Hall. The last time i saw them was around the early 1950s. Azzabuv.
