Show on map I spotted this at the edge of Stewart Park, I believe ‘CB’ stands for County Borough as Middlesbrough became one in 1889 and was extended in 1913, 1929 and 1932. This also co-incides with the Middlesbrough Rural District of which Marton was part being abolished in 1932.
Show on map The plaque says the land was donated by Henry Bolckow (although I suspect the one who died in 1947 rather than the original ironmaster who died in 1878) it was dedicated on November 11th 1947 then re-dedicated by the Bishop of Whitby, Robert Ladds on 8th October 2000.
The war memorial itself is set into a rockery.
A seat in the garden of rememberance has a plaque recording its opening on November 11th 1947 by Dorothy Bolckow, daughter of Henry.
A further plaque exists just across the main road on a modern post, this one again mentions William Brunton, despite him being an OBE i’m having a bit of trouble tracking down his link to the area.
