Spion Kop Cemetery
Spion Kop Cemetery
Or officially the Hartlepool Cemetery. Opened in 1856 and designed by John Dobson, an architect of some standing. The Spion Kop name became in use after the Boer War battle. It was in use in at least 2005 but is now designated as a nature reserve on account of its sandy nutrient poor alkaline soil producing a rich dune grassland that is unique on Teesside. The grass has just been given its annual cut .
