@Blue Hills
I popped into Kingsthorpe cemetery this morning looking for Violet...

It's a very big place to check!

Would this notice by the entrance help narrow it down?

There doesn't appear to be an office, or anyone official there to ask.
I'll do a return visit when I have more time to meander around.

Reminds me of the one in clitheroe.

I think there was a localish pattern of that type.

Clitheroe one in a sort of enclosed garden in the castle grounds. We ran riot through those as kids on elaborate extended games but I think we considered that bit hallowed ground.

Looks like the race is on between you and @biggs682 to pay a cyclists' homage to the good woman.

Wouldn't rate your chances of anyone being able to point you at it - i find folk can very often be very incurious.

Rarely take pics these days but this thread has inspired me to maybe start snapping again.

War memorial and cemetery... just for veterans.

Stumbled across this thread recently and am ready to contribute - a sculpture was installed 2 day ago to honour those who died at the Shoreham Airshow nearly 4 years ago:

@PeteXXX i e mailed them but had no response and like you said it's a fair size plot
I was planning on popping in over the weekend again for a better look but if you are on the case and more local i might well leave it to you

When we're you thinking of heading there?

go chaps - with a team effort and planned strategy you are surely sure to find it?

Doing some bike travelling soon - will try to add one to the thread - for bikes are of course ideal for this sort of hunting.
