I AM a history student, doing a project on Blackburn cemetery and occupations connected with it - groundsmen, undertakers, stonemasons, etc.

I am mainly concerned with the town's older cemetery on Whalley New Road and would be grateful for any information or stories about the graveyard, associated industries or people buried there.
