Hebden Bridge

Originally Hawden Hole, it is situated on the south Hebden Dale hillside between Midge Hole and Hebden Hey above Hebden Water and the lower part of Hardcastle Crags. It was the site of the locally infamous murder of Samuel Sutcliffe in February 1817. After the First World War it was turned into Hawden Hall Holiday Camp and Tea Rooms by William Holt. The old whitewashed farmhouse has now been demolished and the barn behind it renovated and is now known as Hawdon Hall. In the centre is New Bridge Mill but by the time this photo was taken it was Lello’s Tea Rooms.
