Lydgate (Todmorden): what to know before moving day
Two big structures mark the place. Robinwood Mill, mapped at six storeys, stands beside the main road, with the Canteen Mill Industrial Estate next to it, and the listed Lydgate Viaduct carries the railway across a side valley on 13 stone arches with slender piers. Lineholme Mill is further along, and an animal feed merchant and a small brewery also work from the valley floor here.
The houses are mostly on short streets off Burnley Road and Jumps Road: Picker Street, Mitchell Street, Pollard Street, John Baker Street, Plane Street, Mellor Street and Lily Street, with Church Hill and Church Road nearby and Harley Wood and Lineholme Avenue further out. Lydgate has its own post office, which is a handy meeting point if the driver needs to find your street.
