Description

The Jewish Cemetery, located on Alderney Road, is a disused cemetery that adjoins the earlier Velho Cemetery, lying to the north and west of it. The site features both upright and flat tombstones, and some sections of old brick walling remain, although they have been patched with cement. The Jewish Cemeteries are part of a group situated between Mile End Road and Alderney Road.

Jewish Cemetery sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
