It is generally accepted that around 4 million bricks were used to construct the revetment known as the Great Wall of Todmorden.  However, this was not the original construction used to retain the banking between the railway line from Manchester to Normanton above the Rochdale Canal.  This picture, which was also published as a postcard in 1881 entitled ‘Repairing the Slip’, clearly shows a stone structure built by the Manchester &amp; Leeds Railway in 1841. In 1846 an amalgamation resulted in the formation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company who would have been responsible for the existing structure.</text>
