The statue, in Ward Jackson Park, Hartlepool, was made to commemorate The Boer War 1899-1902 in South Africa and was designed and made by local sculptor F.W. Doyle Jones. It was unveiled on 19th July by Mrs Lauder, wife of Col. Lauder and was a bronze figure of a soldier on a granite plinth. In early 1968, the rifle was stolen from the statue and in March 1968 the whole statue was taken leaving only a trace of its boots. The plinth which still stands, is to honour the 320 men from the Hartlepool area who fought in South Africa and the 23 who died in battle are listed on it.

The raised flower bed in the centre background  was themed with a different design and display relevant to a town event every year. This photo was in 1964 and shows Britain in Bloom in flowers.

The park clock can just be seen behind the trees on the right.

Built in the 1960s to replace an older cafe, this building is also now demolished and 'The Place in the Park' has replaced it.
