- Entrance to the Spring Bank Cemetery, showing the Botanic Gardens Level Crossing, drawn by Frederick Schultz Smith (1860-1925), 1889. The entrance gateway to the Spring Bank Cemetery stands in the centre with a small lodge to the left and a chapel to the right. The Hull General Cemetery opened in 1847. The level crossing in front of the cemetery gates was for the York & North Midland Railway Co's Victoria Dock Branch line, laid in 1852. A railway signal mast stands on the right, next to the newly-built Osborne Villa, home of sculptor and monumental mason William Day Keyworth junior (1843-1902). Ink and wash on paper. Signed and dated by the artist in the bottom left corner.
