Family Fun Day Linthorpe Cemetery

No reason why not I guess.

Ha ha.. It is a nature reserve as well. There are various carvings and a lot of flora and fauna. The largest green space in central Middlesbrough, a Victorian cemetery that contains wild flowers, and an ancient hedge, relics of a former village green of Linthorpe that was once the south part of the site.
An interesting place, really popular with dog walkers and strollers.
 
Came down earlier this week for a really good talk on the Winter Garden. Fascinating stuff and such a pity it was pulled down.
 
Yes. I think it was almost like a temporary structure waant it. But what an amazing idea. A kind of arty community centre for workers. I suppose the Temperence movement had long run its course, also. Easy to forget just how big Temperence was at one time.

From what we discussed, it was closed for the duration of WWII and it appears that quite a few of the windows had been blown in (probably from the railway station bombing) so when the war was over it was in a bit of a state. Plus by then Lady Bell, its founder, was long dead and her children were living out of the area, so there was no real drive to repair and make good. A pity though.
