South Shields Daily Pictures
Sleeping in the shadows.
Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 9 May 2012 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
This is Westoe Cemetery in South Shields, it is the oldest of the town's two municipal burial grounds and is the final resting place of many of our "founding fathers". It just doesn't seem to be kept to the same standard as Harton, possibly because this place is full, and it is unlikely to see any future burials.
Sadly Dr. Thomas Winterbottom's grave is virtually unrecognisable, yet he gave us a world renowned Marine College and Mariner's Cottages.
Three shot HDR made in Photomatix.
