Note: The drawing on the front page of British infantrymen attacking towards La Boisselle on 1 July 1916 is from Reverend James Birch's war diary. DCRO: D/DLI 7/63/2, p.149. About the Cemetery Codes used in Part 4 The author researched and wrote this book in the 1990s. It was designed to be published in print although, sadly, this was not achieved during his lifetime. Throughout the text, John Bilcliffe used a set of alpha-numeric codes to abbreviate cemetery names. In Part 4 each soldier’s name is followed by a Cemetery Code and, where known, the Grave Reference, as identified by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Here are two examples of the codes and what they represent: T2 Thiepval Memorial A5 VII.B.22 Adanac Military Cemetery, Miraumont: Section VII, Row B, Grave no.

  • Medieval Village of Bishopwearmouth
    The medieval village of Bishopwearmouth Modern development conceals, or has destroyed, any archaeological remains, so it is difficult to date or phase the village’s evolution. Bishopwearmouth was the only one of Sunderland’s medieval villages which had at its heart a parish church. St Michael and All Angels, now Sunderland minster, overlooked the main settlement. This, known to Anglo Saxons as South Wearmouth, stood south of the church, surrounding a rectangular green once as large as that of Monkwearmouth, though later much reduced. i Bishopwearmouth, an average-sized community late in the 12 th century, had expanded markedly by the 1380s. Perhaps by this time the irregular pre-conquest village had gained a new, more formal element, the shape of which can still be seen along Low Row below the minster. Here two blocks of dwellings overlooked the green from the west, conspicuously different in scale and form from the older settlement. They had narrow tofts behind, to a natural boundary formed by the stream, known variously as Howle-Eile burns, or Wearmouth or Barnes burn. These garths were not so long, nor the properties so large, as the burgage plots created in Sunderland borough c. 1180-3, but may be of similar vintage. ii From behind the church ran High Street, still the most direct route between Bishopwearmouth and the port of Sunderland. Before the borough was founded, this street probably ran only to Bodlewell Lane, which led into Low Street and to Ostium Vedrae , the port. High Street East, the extension of High Street beyond Bodlewell Lane, was presumably formed for the borough in the late 12 th century.

  • 2 Mowbray Park
    LOCAL STUDIES CENTRE FACT SHEET NUMBER 2 Mowbray Park A brief history of Mowbray Park Mowbray Park first opened in 1857, following a public health enquiry into the cholera epidemic of the 1840s. The enquiry recommended that a park should be built so that people in Sunderland could get more fresh air and exercise. Parliament gave the city £750 for land. The original park covered the area of the modern park from the old railway line to Park Road, and the “West Park” where the Civic Centre stands. The Council bought the land from the Mowbray family and the park was named after them. Mowbray Park in 1904 In 1866 an extension to the park was opened, from the railway line to Borough Road. It included a lake and terrace. A grand opening ceremony was held, with a procession of 17,000 children, councillors, soldiers and bands. Townsfolk were given a half-day holiday in celebration. During World War II the park was damaged by bombing, and iron structures, such as railings and the bandstand, were removed to make weapons. Park staff also altered the layout in order to grow vegetables. After the war the park suffered from vandalism and neglect. In the 1960s the Civic Centre was built on the site of the West Park. Mowbray Park today However, in 1994, a £4 million Heritage Lottery grant allowed work to start on restoring the park to its former Victorian glory, and rebuilding the Winter Gardens. The Park re-opened in 2000, with many of its old features restored or recreated, alongside new and imaginative additions.
