Spion Kop Cemetery
Spion Kop Cemetery, originally known as Hartlepool Cemetery, is a disused cemetery on the coast near Hartlepool. It was opened in 1856 to replace St. Hilda's churchyard and designed by John Dobson. The area took its name from the Battle of Spion Kop in 1900 during the Boer War.
The cemetery was formed from a combination of sand dune and ship's ballast. It is closed to new burials and is now managed as a local nature reserve.
In the distance is the disused Steetley Magnesite pier at North Sands.

Spion Kop Cemetery
Or officially the Hartlepool Cemetery. Opened in 1856 and designed by John Dobson, an architect of some standing. The Spion Kop name became in use after the Boer War battle. It was in use in at least 2005 but is now designated as a nature reserve on account of its sandy nutrient poor alkaline soil producing a rich dune grassland that is unique on Teesside. The grass has just been given its annual cut .
