DETAILS

TitleCaptain Cook MemorialDescriptionThe construction of a Captain Cook Memorial Park on the foreshore at Redcliffe was a co-operative effort by the Redcliffe City Council, the Redcliffe Bi-Centenary Commemoration Committee and the Whitby Urban District Council of Yorkshire, England. Also contributing to the project was a quarry at Grovely, the owners of which donated two rocks, one of them seven feet high and weighing over eight tons, which were used to construct a memorial cairn. A stone from the ruins of Whitby Abbey weighing about 84lbs was supplied by the Whitby Council, Whitby being the district in which Captain Cook was reared. The park was officially opened in May 1970.Date2003PhotographerHarding, IanCollectorHarding, IanRecord typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourColourOriginal format dimensions18cm x 13cm
