Maybe it’s what’s inside that counts. Though I guess that could also be a stray gust.

William Henry Denton was a file striker and a beerhouse keeper - working men often combined their work in the Sheffield trades with selling alcohol. This ornate grave is part of what I think of as 'Publicans' Row'. #SheffieldBurialGrounds

With the Port of Leith so close to Warriston Cemetery, it's no surprise that we have so many nautical graves within our walls. Here's the third of three posts for today's #31daysofgraves Day 2: Nautical.
