Todmorden, in the Calder Valley on the West Yorkshire side of the historic county boundary, has a population of around 15,000 — a mill town shaped by sitting right on the line between two counties.
A town hall built on the county line
Todmorden sits in the Calder Valley right on the old boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire, and the town's history reflects that split — the Fielden family's cotton mills dominated the local economy through the 19th century. The clearest symbol of the town's dual identity, though, is Todmorden Town Hall, completed in 1875, which was built directly on the historic county line, with the boundary reportedly running straight through the building.
The Town Hall's grand pediment carvings are said to represent the industries of both counties, and the building remains one of the more unusual pieces of civic architecture in the country simply because of where it sits.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Straddling two counties hasn't given Todmorden a dedicated sweet shop either — nothing locally set up for bulk bags, vegan ranges or halal-friendly lines in real depth.
