Jesmond Old Cemetery Gateway off Jesmond Road
The Gateway and former Chapels were built for the Newcastle General Cemetery Company in 1836, designed by John Dobson. They were restored by Tyne & Wear County Council in 1978. Old maps identify the right side building as Dissenters Chapel (non-conformist) and the left side as Episcopal Chapel (Church of England).

The Cemetery is home to many of the Victorian men and women whom made the City of Newcastle what it is today. John Dobson died in 1865 and fittingly has a grave here LinkExternal link
