About

Sowerby and Luddendenfoot sit in the upper Calder valley in Calderdale, linked by narrow lanes and the river corridor. Sowerby occupies the hillside above the valley, with its parish church of St Peter’s at the village core and a network of stone streets that climb away from the road. The settlement pattern reflects the shift from agriculture to industry in the 18th and 19th centuries: small terraces and former mill cottages sit close to former work sites, while lanes lead down to the river and towpath routes used for local travel and walking.

Luddendenfoot lies lower in the valley at the meeting of Luddenden Brook and the River Calder, where a string of former textile mills lines the riverbank and stone bridges cross narrow channels. The valley floor concentrates community uses: workshops, a few shops, and riverside paths that follow the watercourse. Flood history and river management have shaped building positions and bridges here, and the confluence of brook and river is visible from several public points along the main road and riverside paths.
