The Historical Coast Hospital Cemetery
The Historical Coast Hospital Cemetery lies to the south of the old Coast /Prince Henry Hospital Site. It was established in the late part of the nineteenth century. There were approximately 2500 people who died at the Coast Hospital/Prince Henry Hospital buried within its confines. Originally it covered a much greater area and only a small section of it can be seen today. The rest lies under the surrounding bushland which has been allowed to regrow and thus to encourage more native fauna to come back into the area .This also protects the graves and let its many occupants rest in peace.The section that is visible today has been maintained by the NSW Parks and Wildlife Service.
