A NEW memorial to stillborn babies has been erected at Wombwell cemetery.
The previous tribute was not deemed big enough and was relatively unknown so Friends of Wombwell Cemetery have been raising funds to upgrade it.
The new tribute also has eight flower pots around it in the colours of pink and blue to represent the 360 stillborn babies buried in cemetery between the 1860s and 1950s.
Member of the group Ray Mangham said: "It was only a small one before so it needed upgrading.
"Nobody really knew about it but now a lot of people are going for a look.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
