Stephenson Way Cemetery in Newton Aycliffe is an unusual burial place. It appears that most, if not all gravestones are small and are laid on the ground; none seem to be erect. The overall impression is one of untidiness and that extends to the graves themselves where a good number have 'trinket-like' adornments in addition to flowers. At the time the image was recorded, end of January 2016, many of those were Christmas decorations - more than a month after the event.
