A Granite Plaque
Today (24 / 11 / 2020) Friends of Hull General Cemetery volunteers Bill, Jo, and Jeanne installed a Granite plaque in the pre-formed recess located at what is now the rear wall of Thoresby Street School which backs on to the cemetery. It is thought the wall was originally part of the old Alexandra Laundry. The immediate area has also been planted with butterfly-loving plants. The plaque includes a verse from Hans Christian Andersen’s short story ‘The Butterfly’. Hopefully this delightful plaque will become an attraction for the children of Thoresby Street school and surrounding areas.
Odlings Memorial Masons
The butterfly plaque was provided at cost by Odlings Memorial Masons based in New Cleveland St. We would like to offer our many thanks to the company and their staff, particularly Steve and Nikki who gave up the own time to make the plaque, also to staff member Roger Noble who gave a generous donation to ‘The Friends’.
