If you want more information about the History of the Jewish community in this area a great site is: http://www.kmbro.org/ There are many places in the world with Jewish cemeteries in locations with very few Jewish people remaining. I decided to put these online with the information on the stones to help people doing research on their genealogy and just to honour the community that was once here. Thanks for the kind words.

I came across this Jewish cemetery during a weekend break with my wife. We had just gone to see the coast when we came across it. The cemetery is isolated at the top of a beach between the sea and a council housing estate. It seems a strange place for members of the lost tribe of Israel to end their days but maybe the area was very different in the past. The chimney in the derelict works next door still stands but the rest is just rubble and strewn with rubbish. On the seaward side the skelital remains of a long wooden jetty run out into the sea. The place seemed so lonely especially with the wall dividing it from the rest of the cemetery which is now a nature reserve. Your photographs reflect the feeling of the place very well. I took some photographs myself thinking at the time I would be the only one who had done it until that is I decided to research it on the internet and found your posts.
