General Notes on Hebden Bridge

Hebden Bridge is a town in of Calderdale, and lies to the west of Halifax.

It is made up of the townships of Stansfield, Heptonstall, Wadsworth and Erringden.

It lies on the Rochdale Canal and the confluence of Colden Water, Hebden Water and the Calder.

The town was officially named in 1866.

The name means the bridge which leads towards Heptonstall, or the Old Bridge over Hebden water.

The average annual rainfall is around 5 ft.
