The cemetery's ground was surveyed in nine historical plot plans, block by block — bordered by Barbadoes Street to the west and Cambridge Terrace to the south and east — and the plots are not consistently numbered; beside the lych-gate in block 3A, plot 780a is noted as apparently infant graves.

The plots were sold: a separate burial plots book keeps receipt numbers, purchasers' names, plot numbers and sizes, and amounts paid, and its later pages record deposits on part-purchased plots, the completed purchase, and when title was given.

By 1945 the cemetery sat inside a built-up city — a view across its headstones that year shows residential houses over the back fence — and by 1979 its graves and headstones were weathered, broken or fallen over; headstones still stood in the western portion in 2005.
