Todmorden

Todmorden is a town in the county of West Yorkshire, England, southwest of Hebden Bridge. It is part of Calderdale local council. Before the 1974 reorganisation of local government, the town had originally been in Lancashire.

Todmorden today

Although its industrial base is much reduced (at one time Todmorden had the largest weaving shed in the world), it is now more of a commuter town for people working in Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, and other large cities. It also attracts visitors in connection with its locality: heritage and the countryside being its selling points.
