Cemetery Map
The first Broken Hill cemetery was located in Lane Street, which is now the site of the Algate House Children’s Home. The cemetery was the first in Broken Hill c. 1886 until 1889 when the current cemetery in Rakow Street was established. The larger cemetery may well have been a necessity due to the typhoid epidemic of 1888 which claimed some 123 lives during that year. It is uncertain how many headstones were erected in the old cemetery.
