Greenmount Congregational Church memorial

Some things remain invisible! I lived there, travelled past countless times, but never knew this existed. It is however cared for and now the names of these fallen can be shown. A corner of the church yard has been cut off and this area with a seat has been made there.
 It looks fairly ramshackle and although in public view - and obviously thought about with the wreaths. Just not cared for enough! Sorry Greenmount!



Awful photograph! but I have shown how the memorial is placed.

The Dedication is underneath.

Definitely a better shot. The road heads straight upwards to the "Finger Post"
Then branches left to Hawkshaw and right to Helmshore or Ramsbottom
The seat is facing the Bull. The sign points down Brandlesome Road towards Bury, but passing the old School, crossing the old railway bridge the cricket ground and Nabbs House.
Not sure which Lomax street this refers to but Fred Lomax is buried/cremated in this graveyard.
