The Middlesbrough Jubilee, 1881. '1. Unveiling the Statue of Mr. Bolckow. 2. A Triumphal Arch. 3. The Banquet in the Royal Exchange. 4, Fireworks in the Park...The Jubilee, or festive public celebration of the foundation of the town fifty years ago, took place on Thursday week, the 6th October, and was attended with proceedings of considerable interest, which now furnish the subjects of a few additional Illustrations. The ceremony of unveiling the bronze statue of the late Mr. H. W. F. Bolckow, formerly M.P. for Middlesbrough, whose firm, that of Bolckow and Vaughan, established the great ironworks in 1850, was performed by Lord Frederick Cavendish, M.P....There was...a procession of more than ten thousand Sunday-school children...The streets were gaily and tastefully decorated, and one of the triumphal arches is shown among our Illustrations...The banquet at the Royal Exchange, of which also we give an Illustration, was a successful entertainment. Mr. Carl Bolckow, Lord Frederick Cavendish, and Mr. Cowen, M.P., of Newcastle, were the chief speakers. The town was illuminated at night, and there was a grand display of coloured lamps and fireworks in the Park'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
