This stretch of Barlow Moor Road had at least half a dozen monumental masons, serving the vast cemetery across the road. This was the largest, but is now closed. I understand that they did not adapt well to the changing population, not being able to offer Urdu, Hindi, or Arabic inscriptions. See Image for a thriving competitor in the same block.
