Burr Road~United Empire Loyalist Cemetery, Prince Edward County


Burr Road and the afternoon sun.  The County is dotted with disused cemeteries and it was good to find this fine example of Loyalist ground. The cemetery sits across from Burr's Cemetery, an exposed site looking out on farmland.

Burr's





To imagine life on The County in 1822; the bleakness of winter and making a go of it on new soil.  Most of the stones are worn down and there is the faintest of lettering on some of them.

Gates are locked and photos were taken at some distance.
