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 A Local Carter and his Team - MOT00127 Subject The topic of the resource Horse & Cart, People at Work Description An account of the resource A local carter and his team hauling a load towards the upland; this often required the assistance of one or more chain horses, as illustrated here. With the use of water power, the output of cloth increased. This increase in trade saw the opening up of the valleys and the construnction of Turn Pike Roads, with their toll bars, which made journey times shorter. The toll board at Steanor Bottom is evidence of the type and variety of vehicle using the roads, circa 1769. The opening of the Rochdale - Sowerby Bridge Canal (1798-1802) for the conveyance of goods, virtually eliminated the use of the packhorse roads, except for local use. Even the Turn Pike Trust experienced a drop in revenue. Goods could be transported in greater quantities, and more quickly by canal barge than by road. Hardly had the canal revealed its advantages over road transport, than the railway appeared. In this area one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th Century can be seen in the Summit Tunnel. In its day, 1841, it was the longest tunnel in Europe. The Tait prints provide an excellent record of the building of the line from Manchester to Normanton.
