This article appears in Volume V26, Page 1045 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TODMORDEN , a market town and municipal borough in the Sowerby parliamentary division of the West Riding of
York
 -shire, England, extending into the Middleton parliamentary division of Lancashire; 19 M. N.N.E. of Manchester, on the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway. Pop. (1901), 25,418. It lies on both sides of the river
Calder
 , and the scenery of the valley is beautiful in spite of the numerous factories. Todmorden
Hall
 , a picturesque old mansion of various
dates
 , was the seat of the Radcliffes, but they sold the manorial rights about the close of the 17th century. The town
hall
  is a hand-some classical building erected in 1875; it bridges the county boundary, the
Calder
 , enabling the magistrates to exercise jurisdiction in both counties. There is a bronze statue to John Fielden (17841849), to whose energy in developing the
cotton
  manufacture the town owes much of its prosperity. The staple industry is the spinning and weaving of
cotton
 , and there are also foundries and machine-works. The municipal borough, incorporated in 1896, is under a mayor, 6 aldermen and 18 councillors. Area, 12,773 acres.
