About Fencing in Todmorden

Todmorden sits directly on the old boundary between Lancashire and Yorkshire, and this unusual position meant the town looked as much towards Manchester and the cotton trade as it did towards Yorkshire, helping it grow rapidly through the 1800s. The Fielden family, including the radical MP John Fielden, made a leading contribution to establishing the cotton industry in the town, and it was Fielden's nephews who later funded the construction of Todmorden Town Hall, a grand building opened in April 1875 after a four hour procession and a nine course banquet for 400 guests. The Town Hall was built directly over the Walsden Water, the stream marking the county boundary, meaning visitors could once dance across two counties within the same ballroom, an oddity that left Todmorden with a magnificent town hall but no single county to call its own until the boundary was finally redrawn in 1888, placing the whole town firmly in Yorkshire.
