About

Calder ward covers the central valley floor of the Calderdale district, following the course of the River Calder itself. The area is characterised by its industrial heritage and transport corridors, with the railway line and major roads running parallel to the waterway. The landscape is largely urban, formed by the historic development of mills and housing directly along the riverbanks, which dictated the settlement pattern.

The ward includes the core areas of the town of Hebden Bridge, situated at the confluence of the Calder and Hebden Water. This location is marked by a network of streets and buildings adapted to the steep valley sides. The Rochdale Canal runs through the ward, with its towpath now forming a central recreational route for walking and cycling through the urban environment.
