Title A name given to the resource The Making of Todmorden exhibition Subject The topic of the resource Go to the Making of Todmorden in the Exhibits section of this website to see the images in chapters by subject. 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 Stansfield Corn Mill - MOT00320 Subject The topic of the resource Buildings, Chimney, Chimneys, Mill, Mills, Skilled trades Description An account of the resource Stansfield Corn Mill showing later additions, including the detached office building. Originally owned by Messrs. Thompson, the business was taken over by the Sutcliffe family around 1856. Sutcliffe's bought grain at the ports of Liverpool, Manchester and Hull and brought it to Todmorden by canal barge and railway, the milled flour being transported to the various markets in the same way.  The original four-storeyed building was extended several times as the business grew. Around 1896 the mill was re-equipped and electric lighting installed. Milling of the grain went on day and night every day except Sunday, 100 men being employed. Sutcliffe's teams of horses, noted for their strength, were constantly seen on the roads as they moved the grain and flour to and from the mill. The business flourished until the 1930s when the mill closed. The building lay derelict for many years before the site was finally cleared in 1953, Hallroyd Road was re-routed and the flats at Hallroyd Crescent were erected.
