Barbadoes Street Cemetery in the early 1870s, as photographed by Dr A. C. Barker. The chapel was demolished in 1955. The three prominent headstones can still be located today. The round-topped stone (middle) marks the grave of Frederick Thomas Lewis (died 1870); that with the cross behind it commemorates Susannah Slater (died 1864): both those stones have the tops broken but can easily be repaired. The stone on the far right is now face down but is essentially undamaged. Canterbury Museum collection.
