GUEST,John Gallagher Origins: they're moving grandpa's grave (47) RE: Origins: they're moving grandpa's grave 04 Mar 18

I first knew it from reading about a problem in St Johns Wood ( a ritzy district of London) in the 19th century when the local council decided to boild a public washroom in the locality. A public out burst erupted,as it was felt (NOT IN MY BACK YARD) It became known that the new sewer line would pass thru a corner of an ancient graveyard,which
resulted in this song. No idea how it turned out, but the song was very
popular in music halls of the period. Regards jlgallagher@live .com f
