Additional notesBowling Cemetery The extensive land for Bowling Cemetery was acquired in the middle of 1880\'s and designs for a lay-out were invited in January 1884. The grounds extend to over 27 acres. Bowling cemetery is an old Victorian Cemetery dating back to 1889. It covers almost 12 hectares and is one of the most used cemeteries in the City. Many fine examples of Victorian memorials can be found in the cemetery. A Yorkshire Stone Cenotaph stands in the middle commemorating the Soldiers and Sailors who lost their lives in the Great War 1914?1918. Standing on a hillside the cemetery overlooks some magnificent architecture in the City of Bradford and can be worth a visit for this reason alone. This cemetery serves the needs of some of the diverse cultures that make up Bradford today, for example: Muslim, Afro Caribbean, Vietnamese, Catholic, Anglican Non Conformists and first Europeans.
