- Lying at one of the most westerly points in Yorkshire, around 3 miles away from the border to Lancashire, is the town of Todmorden.
The name Todmorden first appears in 1641 and is believed to mean 'Totta’s boundary-valley', probably in reference to the valley running northwest from the town. Geographically the town is located at the convergence of three steep-sided Pennine valleys, making it a popular destination for hikers and cyclists.
Before the Industrial Revolution, Todmorden was a small but prosperous woollen textile producing village using the streams from surrounding hills to fuel the mills. With the construction of the Rochdale Canal in 1804 and the main line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1841, Todmorden became a key industrial town. A switch from wool to cotton brought about the construction of many grand Victorian mills in the area.
Despite a centuries-old rivalry between the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, stemming from the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century, Todmorden switched from Lancashire to West Yorkshire (or West Riding of Yorkshire as it was then known) in 1888. And yet it has a Rochdale dialling code and an Oldham postcode!

This camerawork is INCREDIBLY smooth! If someone held a camera, surely it would bounce up and down _ even just a bit! Is this filmed from a mobility scooter - or on perhaps a drone?
Thanks! I use a gimbal for stabilisation. Also the camera I use (Sony FDR-AX700 if you're interested, though I'm not affiliated) has its own internal stabilisation mechanism which may help a little. Although you're giving me ideas about a mobility scooter with a dashcam now, haha!
@@4KExplorer from Nygel Miller. Thanks for replying to my query about how on earth you kept the camera still, so you can do your tours! It really is imaginative that some people DO such tours! With the best intentions in the world, it really isn't possible to GO everywhere, or have the time to do so!
I’m loving your videos, do you think you may visit Calderdale again sometime soon? I hope so
Great question! It may take a few months but I'd be more than happy to return so I can cover Halifax, Brighouse etc.
This is were l trained to become britain's number one ladies man with my award winning chat up lines like what's your favourite sandwich.
If that doesn't work ask them if they like rice krispies or ask me for more advice l charge five hundred pounds a minute.
I live in Todmorden the video is good but at the start when you went under the viaduct you weren't supposed to go that way you would normally go where the pavement is
just another dying boomer town.
