Appraisal
The walls surrounding Goldenbridge Cemetery create a sense of enclosure within the landscaped burial grounds, typical of early nineteenth-century garden cemeteries. Despite some alterations, the original fabric remains intact, adding a patina of age to the surrounding streetscape. It forms part of a significant group of related structures at the cemetery, with the mortuary chapel and sexton's house.
