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 Waterside School - MOT00358 Subject The topic of the resource Correspondence, Welfare Description An account of the resource Letter from schoolchild at Waterside School to John Fielden, 1841, thanking him for their education. Waterside School December 27 1841 Mr John Fielden, Since I came to this School I have improved much but especially since John Fielden came who is our School master now when he came at first I could write but very little but now I can write anything that comes into my mind or anything which any body says to me beside I have learnt other things I have learnt to read a deal better than when I came here at first. I feel a great privilege in coming to School for while I am here I am happy. I was very glad when all those slates came for I knew that our good Master had sent them for us. Besides we have a large Schoolroom to do our work in and there is a fine large steam pipe to keep the School warm in winter. I am sure the Masters think something about us or else they would not do all this for us. We need to be thankful to them for letting us come to School without paying for just look at those uneducated persons in the factory who think nothing about saying foul tales and lying and swearing and grieving GOD to all height. Once about a year since I use to think I had a right to swear when I was not in the School but our master taught me better. It is a sin to swear any time for GOD sees me in the dark as well as in the Antemeridian. I know wether there is not a great contrast in coming to School 2 hours a day for those who never think about nothing by saying funny tales while we are in the School are engaged in our lessons. I think however that the Manager ought to send them to School to learn more sense but there a re even at Stoneswood Mill Adults who can neither read nor write poor creatures I am sorry for them their minds must be very shallow I desire to thank you for letting me come to School for nothing.
