About this place

Memorial in Sheffield, England

The Cholera Monument is a memorial in Sheffield, England, to the victims of a cholera epidemic of 1832. In a 2022 lecture, Richard C. Keller, Professor of Medical History and Bioethics in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, identified the Monument, the Cefn Golau Cholera Cemetery, Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent and Duffy's Cut in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as examples of 'a handful of memorial plaques [sic] designating mass burial sites of cholera victims from the nineteenth century'. Of the 402 disease victims, 339 were buried in grounds between Park Hill and Norfolk Park adjoining Clay Wood. Money from the treasurers of the Board of Health was set aside for a monument for the site.
