Pretty sure it still exists. I don't know what they mean by General Cemetary though.

Based on the high number of burial plots there I wonder if General Cemetery may refer to Lawnswood Cemetery, as it is not that far from The Grove (Adel Chuch is nearer but is a very small burial ground compared to such as Lawnswood). Edit added about 22:58. My suggestiion of Lawnswood is wrong as the General Cemetery is Woodhouse Cemetery according to weenie's post below.

It appeared on the maps between 1921 and 1934

Sorry the General Cemetary is the Leeds General cemetary (woodhouse cemetary) now known as St Georges Field. whish is behind the Henry Price buildings part of University.
