Beth Hamedrash Hagadol (BHH) Cemetery, Gelderd Road Leeds LS12, Leeds, England. 2217 burials total.
The Beth Hamedrash Hagadol (BHH) congregation was established in 1874. Initially, it used the communal Hill Top Cemeteries but, in 1895, it arranged for its own cemetery at the same site. This continued in use until the early 1950s when the current cemetery on Gelderd Road, Gildersome was acquired. It was opened in 1955.
