East Cemetery Headstone
Coquet, am I right in believing that you have photographed all of the headstones that are still standing?
There is a query on Rootsweb about a headstone seen in 1971 but not there now as far as I can see. I've pointed them in the direction of this website |

yes think I got most of them, some photos are not added yet - what is the name?
There was a story that some of the headstones were removed completely - parts appearing incorporated into the concrete shelf/seat at the paddling pools! |

The name is Melrose although I think there are a couple of Watsons listed. It should have been quite a significant headstone, the last name was from 1928. The Melroses were landlords of the Widdrington Arms at Felton and butchers in Amble.

I don't appear to have a picture of it. If you give me the plot number I'll have a look this week. It could have been missed.

The storey about the headstones being used as seats at the paddling pools is true. I never understood to this day why it happened or who the fool was that authorised it .

Thanks Ambler, I can't believe that could have been allowed to happen. There is talk of paddling pool refurbishment happening? perhaps one of us should raise this with the Council and see if they could be found during the works and put back where they belong

Thanks Coquet, it should be R74. There are 7 Melroses mentioned on it as well as Hannah Watson and Margaret Isabella Alder.

I need to restyle that East Cemetery page to look like the Chevington Churchyard one and get the primary inscriptions in alphabetical order, adding the difficult photos which are currently left out. ...some day... |
