Castle Gate Cemetery for Castle Gate Ghost town infamous for the horrific mine disaster of 1924.
The Castle Gate mine disaster occurred on March 8, 1924, in a coal mine near the town of Castle Gate, Utah (now dismantled), All of the 171 men working in the mine were killed in the series of three violent explosions. One worker, the leader of the rescue crew, died from carbon monoxide inhalation while attempting to reach the victims shortly after the explosion.
To add to the tragedy, two weeks prior to the explosion, the Utah Fuel Company had laid off many of the unmarried miners and miners without dependents during a period of reduced orders for coal. As a result, 114 of the men who were killed in the disaster were married men, leaving behind 415 widows and fatherless children.

I took this picture on my way to the football match on Saturday. What you see is The Salvation Army Citadel built to the design of James Souttar, 1896 and the Mercat Cross dates from 1686, designed by John Montgomery. This is a very historic part of Aberdeen, now a pedestrian area, it has a few shops and restaurants. Not so very long ago buses and before that the trams would come down here and turn, and there was a thriving market here, most weeks. Today it is still quite a gathering spot and when the sun is out a nice place to have a seat and watch the world go by.

The Castlegate in Aberdeen was chosen as the site for this Gordon Highlanders statue because this was the site of their original 1700s barracks before moving to the Bridge of Don. Castlegate Barracks was located at the end of Union Street and Castle Street, affording views over the harbour. Sculptor: Mark Richards
