Charles Mark Palmer

picture of statue to Charles Mark Palmer, Jarrow.

Jarrow's great benefactor

Charles Mark Palmer was born in South Shields and went on to become a merchant, a shipowner, shipbuilder, and social benefactor to the people of Jarrow. He became their first Mayor and Member of Parliament, and was responsible, also, for the building of two hospitals. You can see a detailed account of his life's work - here

This statue to Palmer is erected in Jarrow's riverside park and continues a small series of Jarrow pictures started yesterday.
