Is it still there? When did it close? Who was buried there?

Hmmmm I found this:
"("Spring Path Burial Ground" at the corner of Darling Street and the Spanish Town Road, generally referred to as "The Strangers' Ground," area 204,147 sq. ft., or 4a, 2r and almost 30 p)
The land was levelled at the close of 1934, and the tombstones and monuments were removed. A plan of the Cemetery showing the location of all graves; and the position of all tombstones and monuments with legible inscriptions, ( in number) was recorded in the Island Record Office on 20th February, 1934, at Liber N.S. 433, folio 198."
Why was it called "The Strangers' Ground," and why was it leveled.
