Title A name given to the resource The Making of Todmorden exhibition Subject The topic of the resource Go to the Making of Todmorden in the Exhibits section of this website to see the images in chapters by subject. Description An account of the resource The Making of Todmorden’ was an exhibition staged in June 1993 at Todmorden Town Hall. Initiated by Jack Taylor MBE and Todmorden Information Centre Trust it used material researched and compiled by Jack Taylor, Betty Savage, Derek Proctor, Dennis O'Neill and members of the Todmorden Antiquarian Society. We are also indebted to the Fielden family and Roger Birch, who provided many of the images. Roger also did much of the work in putting the exhibition together. Opened by Nobel prizewinner Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, the exhibition received great acclaim. It tells the story of Todmorden’s rich industrial heritage and its people and the success of the exhibition was in no small part due to the detailed research undertaken. It is a fine body of work and is presented here as a tribute to all those who contributed to the exhibition.

Title A name given to the resource Road Improvement - MOT00436 Subject The topic of the resource Buildings, Horse drawn Cart, Mill, Mills, Municipal Undertakings, People, People at Work Description An account of the resource Road paving, 1911 - The operation of motor buses by the Corporation helped to bring about improvements in the surfacing and repair of local roads. The increasing presence of motor transport in the late 1900s was responsible for the disintegration of the surface of the roads, particularly in wet weather. The Motor Bus Committee paid out substantial amounts of compensation to people who had clothing splashed with mud thrown up by the bus wheels (and to people whose dogs or hens had been killed while scavenging on the dusty surfaces). In 1910, the Council embarked on a programme of street improvements including the paving, with granite setts, of the main approach roads. The first tender was let to local contractor Benjamin Lumb for the length between the gas works, Millwood, and the Town Hall. The length between Gauxholme and Ewood Lane was begun in May 1911, the contractors being Riley Bros. & Hartley. In this picture, the work is being carried out at Waterside (near the present entrance to Safeway's). One of Caleb Hoyle's wagons can be seen carrying empty skips to his mill at Walsden.
