There are benched dotted about Hadleigh Woods, which I will add as I come across. It will be difficult to create a map for them, but might try at some point!
Every day, we walk past and sit on park benches, many of which have plaques dedicated to departed loved ones. Recently, I realised that I had never taken the time to properly read these inscriptions. As both an artist and a genealogist, I thought it would be an interesting project to photograph each bench and research the lives of the individuals commemorated on them.
There are fifty seven benches with plaques along Marine Parade between Vernon Road and Belton Way East.
There are thirty nine benches with plaques along Marine Parade between the corner of Thames Drive and Belton Way to the corner of Vernon Road.
There are twenty one benches with memorial plaques along Marine Parade between Tattersall Gardens and Thames Drive.
