I have sent an email to Donald Wiseman, editor of the website of Kehilat Middlesbrough Newsletter and Archives.
It is a useful site for people researching Jewish life and geneology in the Northeast of England. They have a section about the Jewish Cemetery in Hartlepool. It is not always online so I have decided to reprint details here with links to my photos of the graves taken on August 20, 2006.
The photos I have uploaded so far can be found here as a group:
Flickr Set of Photos of Hartlepool Jewish Cemetery
There will be more uploaded. Below are details and links to individual photos. On Flickr when you are on a photo’s page you can click on “All Sizes” and get larger sizes of the photos and you can download them.
