Todmorden?

York, the City of York. Is the only part of Yorkshire not in a Riding as it is the centre where the three Ridings meet.

Todmorden ? Now that is a touchy subject. In Tod' you get lynched for suggesting that the place is now in Yorkshire, the locals will not accept it. Listen to their dialect, it is pure Burnley, nowt like a Halifax twang. Go down a valley to Saddlelworth, used to be Yorkshire but now Lancashire, they will not accept the change and put in the best Yorkshire Day celebrations. $:-\$

Todmorden has always been a touchy subject! it is in West Yorkshire but with a Lancashire or Greater Manchester postcode (Oldham).

they have Incredible Edible there, stuff growing all over the place! Good market though

I ought to check my facts first, but maybe to stir things up

-
the town hall used to be over the boundary, on the frontage, one side is depicting Yorkshire, sheep and mills, the other side is Lancashire, possibly showing cotton process.
Now I'd better go and find out properly.

Incredible Edible is a great movement, hope it grows as well as the free fruit + veg, not sure I would pick the free herbs from the side of the road though $:-\$ .
