The second Jewish cemetery in Hull. Initially leased to the community by William Bell, an auctioneer, in June 1812, it was bought by the community in 1819 and remained in use until May 1858. It is on the south side of what was formerly known Patrick's Ground Lane, now Hessle Road. There was room for about 120 graves although only about 75 burial are believed to have taken place. There may have been another Jewish cemetery in use in Hull at the same time whose whereabouts are unknown. For addition details, see article by David Lewis (2005) on JCR-UK.
