This is the second of the six Jewish cemeteries in Hull. The first was Villa Place Jewish Cemetery. It operated from 1812 to 1858 when cemeteries within the urbanized areas were closed for hygenic reasons. On closure, the town council took over the care of the cemetery but it fell into neglect by the late 19th century. There may be up to 120 graves in this location, although only 34 graves have been located to date. Twenty four of the people buried in the cemetery are known with certainty by name and date. An additional 17 people of the Hebrew faith are known to have died in Hull during the years this cemetery operated. The Star of David can still be seen over the entrance to the building on the immediate south side of the cemetery. The Delhi Street Jewish Cemetery was opened to serve the Jewish community after the Hessle Road Jewish Cemetery was closed.
