Greenmount Cricket Club - Memorial

I have updated this page in the light of the brass plaque at the church. The reference is at the bottom of the page

I had no idea this little stone existed until today. It was only because I had parked up and walked across the road to get a shot from the right angle that I spotted it.  I saw many bands there in the early 70's. I may have played there myself at that time. The land to the side, where there is a park was the practice pitch of Greenmount Primary School football team. The road at the right hand side ends up as a T junction at the "Bull". The left fork goes to Tottington, the right to Holcombe Brook and Ramsbottom. The school is on the right. The church is at the junction too, "looking" up the road.

The memorial is on the left.
The road looks down towards Bury past Nabbs House.

Looking up towards Greenmount village. The Congregational Church is in the distance.
The school is to the right of the church and the pub faces the school.

Many of the names on the stone memorial are clearly the same as the brass plaque "up the road"

At the top of the  road is a  brass plate inset on a corner of the church with the names of the fallen from WWII. This is facing the Bull.
