Join model man Steve Waller for a rare glimpse of his scale model of Ayresome Gardens in the Dorman Museum at 1pm - before Steve reveals details of the former cemetery
Ayresome Gardens Cemetery Revealed
- Thread starter fmttmadmin
- Start date
Such a big enthusiastic turn out to see Steve's model and then be guided by him around the former cemetery site - remember all 11 000 graves are still in the ground beneath the park. Thanks to Steve Waller for keeping the memories of all alive. They include over 5000 infants which tells its own story about the appalling infant mortality and often squalid living (and working) conditions in the 19th century Infant Hercules.
