Takow Foreign Cemetery

A cemetery for the foreign community of the treaty port of Takow, laid out in 1871 on land that British consul Robert Swinhoe (郇和) had leased as a site for the consulate. It held 38 graves by the last burial in 1896 and remained British property through the Japanese colonial era, until the provincial government claimed the unregistered land in 1950 and rezoned it for housing in 1967. Only three headstones survive, scattered among the houses and alleyways of the hillside.
