Any idea why the gravestones in the front are flat? Unstable ground? Maintenance?

CT-Guards,

Thank you for the posts but in particular the post of White City.  It is an area of tremendous interest to me and I have always hoping someone might post a then and now photo using the "then" photo you included.  The only other one I have for that spot was included in the Twenty Years After series, which is er, a little dated.   If you don't mind, I am going to save the photo as a guide for my next trip to France next year.

regards,

peter
