On the border of the busy Mansfield Road, where countless cars pass daily, lies one of Nottingham's biggest cemeteries - a tranquil and mysterious spot covering almost 13 acres. The Church Cemetery, better known as Rock Cemetery, is steeped in history - and the head stones are said to be tilted because the dead would "rise from their grave".
It is a calm place, yet an eerie place that adds character to the area. The majority of people living in the area described it as a "special feature" to their neighbourhood.
Iain Rowley, a teacher who walks alongside Forest Road East every day to work, said there is something that "draws" him to it. The 40-year-old added: "I am drawn to that eerie atmosphere. I would not go that for to say that I walk here at night, but I pass by every day when I go to work.
