Pigg family memorial, St Nicholas churchyard, Gosforth
The unusual wording caught my eye: 'The burial place of James Pigg of Bulman Village'. The full text is transcribed in his entry on findagrave.com https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/159092845/james-pigg
Bulman Village was the previous name of Gosforth, after Job Bulman (after whom the town's Wetherspoon pub is now named) built Coxlodge Hall in 1796, after making his fortune in India. [Source: https://www.curiousfox.com/vill100/NorthumberlandSmallerVillages_2.html ]

St Nicholas church, Gosforth
Viewed on an early December day (appropriately, the saint's feast day being the 6th December). The present building was erected in 1799 by John Dodds after demolition of an earlier church and takes its dedication from the city's parish church. It was extended in 1820 by John Dobson (a leading architect in Newcastle). It is shown on the earliest OS map of 1864 as a 'stipendiary curacy of Newcastle-upon-Tyne', meaning it was a chapel of ease to the city church three miles away, but by 1897 is shown as a 'Rectory' meaning it had become a parish church with its own incumbent, perhaps in 1882 when the Diocese of Newcastle was formed and the parish church elevated to Cathedral status. Extended again in 1912 and 1950. Listed grade II (list entry 1355218).

Bus stop, Station Road, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne
A bus stop of east bound services using Station Road, and Metro replacement buses. The bus stop is located at what was once the junction of Church Road and Station Road. The bus stop, bollards and paved area now prevent traffic from using the former junction.
