Rare & Historic Occupations
This individual worked in a trade that is now rare, extinct or historically transformed.
Occupations such as stonemasons, telegraph operators, bootmakers, brickmakers, coachbuilders, milk carters,

and technology reshaped daily life. Brighton General Cemetery records preserve the stories of those whose
working lives reflect a very different era of labour and community history. Brighton General Cemetery records contain 617 such individuals.
