In Memory of Robert Robinson
Rest here a while old friend of ours amid the gorse, and
moorland flowers. Become this place you loved so well
the moor, the stream, the distant fell. The old days are
gone, the laughs, the smiles as we walked on, for miles
and miles. We're sad those days have had to die as you
have done, and so will I. Then as we round that final
bend be waiting, at the gate, old friend. "You can
take the man from Yorkshire but you can't take Yorkshire
from the man". Halifax 14 - 3 - 39 Canada 27 - 1

Location: Trig point, Oxenhope moor, near Ovenden Wind

carved there by him when he was about ten. The council
demolished Rock St and the paving stones were brought
to Haworth.

was an actor mostly in silent movies. His career spanned
from 1909-1935. He was in 336 films mostly westerns, where
