Todmorden England

Gaddings Dam is an early Victorian earth embankment reservoir situated high on the moors above Todmorden. The reservoir has no vehicle access and can only be reached by a steep hike to the top of the moors. There are no facilities whatsoever at the dam and visitors should be suitably equiped and experienced for fell walking and be responsible for their own navigation and safety. It is often described as having the 'highest beach in England' which is quite incorrect. In fact the 'beach' is a small patch of dirty sand in one corner which is often submerged. The easiest approach is along the Pennine Way, parking by the White House pub on the A58 and following the PW north until just past Warland Reservoir, where a footpath turns off West to reach Gaddings Dam. Approaching from Lumbutts is difficult and not recommended due to severe lack of parking space and a dangerously eroded footpath.

Todmorden Town Hall straddles the Walsden Water and was situated in both Lancashire and Yorkshire until the county boundary was moved on January 1st 1888. Designed by John Gibson of Westminster, this Grade 1 listed building holds a strong place in the hearts of local people. Most iconic, from the outside, is the pediment. The carved stonework has two central female figures on a pedestal. The one on the left represents Lancashire (cotton spinning industry) and the one on the right Yorkshire (engineering and agriculture). Below the two figures are different friezes of the industries coming together to prosper on the border. Inside the building there is an old Magistrate’s Court which now serves as the Todmorden Town Council Chamber. The ballroom upstairs spans the length of the building and holds many memories for those who have attended the variety of events held in the Town Hall for over 140 years. The building has many stories to tell and is home to a HLF funded Heritage Centre. Guided ‘Teas and Tours’ are available for groups with fully trained volunteer tour guides. Tours cost £4.50 per person, with a minimum group charge of £45.00. All tours include tea, coffee and biscuits. Free ‘Taster Tours’ are available for individuals and couples on the first Sunday of the month (except January) and start at 2pm opposite the iconic pediment. There is no need to book a tour: you can just turn up on the day. For individuals and couples who would like to enjoy a more thorough tour there are also ‘Total Tours of Todmorden Town Hall’ available. These include access to the secret spaces of Todmorden Town Hall, including the former Caretaker’s Flat, bathroom in the attic and cellar.
