Layton cemetery was opened in 1873. The cemetery is split into three main areas with the Church of England graves running through the middle, the Catholic graves running down the right hand side and the non-conformist on the left side as you stand at the main gate on Talbot Road. There is a separate Muslim section on the far left side, and situated a short distance down Westcliffe Drive is the Jewish Section. http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/Residents/Life-events/Cemeteries-and-crematorium/Layton-cemetery.aspx The cemetery was designed and laid out by Garlick, Park and Sykes, architects of Preston. Originally there were three mortuary chapels, Anglican, Catholic and Non-Conformist but only the Anglican remains.
