Todmorden Town Hall description
Local Authority (Town Hall etc)
Medium (1-150)
The town hall in Todmorden straddles the River Calder and was situated in both Lancashire and Yorkshire until the county boundary was moved on January 1 1888. Designed by John Gibson of Westminster, this imposing building has a northern end which is semi-circular.
The town hall is considered one of the finest municipal buildings in the country with a frontage of 53 feet at the County Bridge End, extending 130 feet to the apse and measuring 67 feet to the top of the pediment.
One interesting external feature of the town hall is the pediment. The fine carved stonework has two central female figures on a pedestal. The left hand one represents Lancashire (cotton spinning industry) and the right hand one Yorkshire (engineering and agriculture).
The striking mosaic inside the building, set into the corridor floor, includes the Todmorden coat of arms together with the motto 'By Industry We Prosper'.
