About

Todmorden ward encompasses the central and southern sections of the Todmorden town area, situated within the Upper Calder Valley. The landscape is defined by steep valley sides and the convergence of the River Calder and Walsden Water. The built environment is a mix of stone terraced housing, local commercial premises, and former industrial mills, reflecting its historical role in textile manufacturing.

The ward includes the town's central civic and retail core around the market and town hall. A notable local landmark is the Grade I listed Todmorden Unitarian Church, a prominent 19th-century structure on Rochdale Road. The topography strongly influences the community, with residential streets climbing sharply from the valley floor, offering views across the surrounding Pennine moorland.
