Hebden Bridge is a market town which forms part of Hebden Royd in West Yorkshire, England. Hebden Bridge is in the Upper Calder Valley, 8 miles west of Halifax and 14 miles north-east of Rochdale, at the confluence of the River Calder and the Hebden Water.
Hebden Bridge Town Hall and adjoining fire station is a Grade II listed building, built in 1897. Following local government reorganisation, it became underused. The building was transferred from Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council to Hebden Bridge Community Association on a 40-year lease (now extended to 125 years) on 1 April 2010, along with funds for basic maintenance work.
Hebden Bridge lies close to the Pennine Way and Hardcastle Crags and is popular for outdoor pursuits such as walking, climbing and cycling. It lies on the Rochdale Canal – a through route across the Pennines. The town of Hebden Bridge is on the route of the Calderdale Way, a circular walk of about 50 miles (80 km) around the hills and valleys of Calderdale, and it is connected with the Pennine Way through the Hebden Bridge Loop.
oday tourism is probably the main economic factor in Hebden Bridge, and nearly all shops are open on Sundays. As of Easter 2017, The weekly Market has moved to Lees Yard adjoining the pedestrian centre of St. George Square, and the market days have been increased from two and a half to four full weekly market days: Thursdays to Sundays. Walkley's Clog Mill is one of the country's leading clog manufacturers. It moved from its original home at Falling Royd to a site on Midgley Road in Mytholmroyd.
Hebden Bridge has built a reputation for great little shops and has an unusually high density of independent shops for a UK town of its size with more than 20 cafes and tea rooms, and about 20 pubs, micro pubs and restaurants. In a national survey by the New Economics Foundation in 2010 Hebden Bridge was ranked sixth on a diversity scale and was praised for its independent shops and unique shopping experience.
Hebden Bridge railway station lies on the Calder Valley Line between Manchester Victoria and Leeds City. The Hebden Bridger is a local bus operated by West Yorkshire Metro that serves as a town centre service, also operating to local villages including Heptonstall.

Heptonstall
Heptonstall is a small village and civil parish within the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, England. The population of Heptonstall, including the hamlets of Colden and Slack, is 1,448.[1] The town of Hebden Bridge lies directly to the southeast. Although Heptonstall comes under Hebden Bridge as a post town, it is not within the Hebden Royd town boundaries.
Historically a centre for hand-loom weaving, it was also the site of a battle in 1643 during the early part of the English Civil War.[2] The foundation stone of its octagonal Methodist chapel, the oldest still in continued use, was laid following the visit of John Wesley in 1764.[3

Nutclough Mill and Hebden Bridge - Part 4
In our exploration of the history of Calrec's Nutclough Mill HQ and the town of Hebden Bridge, we've reached the 1960s.
It was a sad time.
The UK clothing industry had begun to import cheaper textiles from the East. One by one, the mills were shut down. Then they were vandalised and gutted by fire. The rivers were in a bad way, poisoned by years of industrial pollution. People were fleeing South in search of work. The town was in terminal decline.
In the mid-Sixties, a group of residents set to work to help make Hebden Bridge a decent place to live again and to restore some civic pride. They began to restore some of the town's most important historic buildings, clear up the rubbish, and clean the rivers. It was the dawn of a new era in the town's fortunes.

Market Street in Hebden Bridge and some of its specialist shops, before the flood...
Market Street is only a small part of the Hebden Bridge, but like elsewhere in the town, there are quite a few independent specialist shops. Many of these are now suffering greatly after the recent flooding and some will remain closed for a couple of months, seriously threatening the livelihoods of those people running them. Please support the town and its people as much as possible by keeping your shopping local, whenever you have a choice. Thanks.
