Old Boundary Marker in Stoodley Glen, Calderdale Township Boundary Marker above Stoodley Glen and south of Stoodley Lane. Formerly on the boundary of Langfield and Sowerby townships in Halifax parish. It marked the boundary of the Sowerby Ramble, a narrow strip of land along the Calder valley and up Stoodley Glen between Erringden and Stansfield townships and Erringden and Langfield township. Sowerby Ramble was part of Sowerby township but in 1850 it became part of Erringden township, later parish. In 1897 Langfield and Stansfield became part of Todmorden parish and in 1937 this part of Erringden parish also became part of Todmorden parish.

Old Boundary Marker Estate Boundary Marker set in a stone wall on Matthew Lane, a green lane. In the former Stansfield township and parish, absorbed into Todmorden parish in 1897. Not on any township or parish boundary so is thought to mark an estate boundary.

Boundary monument, Todmorden Todmorden was on the boundary (some would say border) of Lancashire and Yorkshire, until the whole town became part of West Yorkshire in 1974. The monument is on the site of the former Ridgefoot cotton mill, a little way on the Lancashire side of the old boundary. It illustrates the Town Hall nearby, which famously straddled the boundary.

River Calder downstream of Stansfield Road, Todmorden The Yorkshire Calder is quite insignificant, at least in dry weather, at this point approaching the grade II listed railway viaduct of 1840, though the whole upper section of the river is prone to flash flooding.

Coal drops, Todmorden The disused coal drops (or staithes) at Halifax and Sowerby Bridge are well known to railway enthusiasts, but I hadn't been aware that Todmorden had them too. This is where hopper wagons would be emptied into wagons or lorries waiting below to distribute coal to customers in the area.

Empire Books, Stansfield Street, Todmorden The building is shown on early 20th century maps as 'Carr Mill (Slipper)'. It presumably made carpet slippers from fabric produced in one of the many local cotton mills.  A comment on a local history website says 'The footwear industry in Rossendale [not far from Todmorden] didn't really finish until the late 1980s'.

House on the corner of Whiteplatts Street, Todmorden A grander residence than most in the area, maybe built for a manager of one of the nearby cotton mills.
