PADIHAM, ST LEONARD'S CEMETERY |
**page unfinished**
This cemetery has been closed to the general public since about 2002 as some of the gravestone had been deemed unsafe. However when I passed it recently on the bus it looks like there may now be access so I plan to return to take more photos.
Location: Blackburn Road, Padiham near Memorial Park
OS ref: 103 SD788 337
