ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
The Middlesbrough Cenotaph stands by the entrance to Albert Park, beside the Dorman Museum. Unveiled in 1922 and inscribed THE GLORIOUS DEAD 1914-1919, 1939-1945, it was rededicated after the Second World War to the dead of that conflict and later wars; the names of the First World War dead fill bronze panels at the park gates.

- Names of individuals are recorded on the memorial and in the town's book of remembrance; this discovery record does not reproduce them.
