Following his fascinating talk on the 'Rise and Fall of Hull General Cemetery', Pete Lowden now invites you to join him for a guided tour of the cemetery on Spring Bank West. Hear about, and view the last resting place
of, some of the movers and shakers of Victorian and
Edwardian Hull - from Henry Hodge, mayor and mill owner, to Zachariah
Pearson, disgraced mayor and benefactor of the town; from Sir James Reckitt, industrialist and
philanthropist to William
Clowes, founder of Primitive Methodism and relative of Josiah Wedgewood
and Charles Darwin. Hull General Cemetery is a place of local and
national importance and you will certainly enjoy your visit.
