Description: | The Havelock Monument, Mowbray Park, Sunderland, 1957. General Sir Henry Havelock was born at Ford Hall, on the then outskirts of Sunderland, in 1795. He won fame during the Indian Mutiny of 1857 when his army defeated the Nana Sahib at Cawnpore (or Kanpure) and, with Sir James Outram's force, went on to lead the attack against the besiegers of the town of Lucknow. Unfortunately, he died of dysentery shortly after the seige had been lifted. This monument was unveiled in Mowbray Park on 21 May 1861. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East buildings and views Sunderland leisure war | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
