   This is Stanley Hill. These trees mark the resting place of poor people who died from Cholera. There was a Hospital beside this hill for the treatment of the victims of the dread disease. The trees were planted there so that it would not be dug up in after years. The same circumstances surround the place called Coyle's Wood on Stackallen Road.
