ARROW A: 2PUBL-001-0001 to 0020
The plots at the northern end of the 'old' section were looking sad and neglected 18 months ago. Low lying tree branches and a problem of leaf drop meant the headstones were difficult to read and maintain.
Thanks to TCDC contractors the trees have been trimmed and vicinity cleared. This area is down a small hill, but now the plots once again are a part of the cemetery.
The photo below left was taken January 2019, and below right June 2020. The Hetherington plot top left, can now be seen and all in this section can be kept clean from now on.

ARROW B: TIZARD BLOCK
Another transformation, that was necessary to stop damage potentially caused by broken branches. Trees may look great in a cemetery but left unchecked they often damage many of the plots.
The before and after photographs of the Tizard Block are below.
Remember to try and find time to visit your ancestors' graves and clear a few leaves or two!!! If they happen to be at Thames - thank-you for helping us to remember those interred in our local cemeteries.
