They moved the border a few years ago now!

I used to live very close to that shop but I am 4.5 miles away up the valley now ... (Probably why they are 'Happy'!)

I am still trying to work out where the border IS now! I know it used to go down the middle of Todmorden town hall. I have an Oldham postcode but have a West Yorkshire council. Some online forms insist that I select Lancs for the county, others West Yorks!

Hey-hey, my town in the news. And right outside Bonsall's the ironmonger. I used to live a stone's throw from that, you always see police cars parked outside there or the town hall but I never saw a silver one.....
I've never been too sure about the border (Lancashire or GM).... Walsden is still Yorkshire, I think? The last town before Greater Manchester- Or have I got that wrong?

On some maps, Littleborough is in Yorkshire.

And when I lived there the 'phone service was provided by BT in Blackburn, which was another direction.
The border is where the Calderdale surface dressing stops and Rochdale's patchwork starts just our side of the final rise up to Littleborough Summit, next to the big puddle when it rains. I'm in Yorkshire but have an OL postcode and a Rochdale phone code (though I couldn't take the number I had in Rochdale with me when I moved.) National Rail Enquires automated voice said 'tod-mor-den Lanc-a-shire' last time I used it.

That I did not know. I suppose that was before Greater Manchester existed.
I live in Hebden but cycle to Littleborough to get the train there to work in Manchester, as you can get a GM season ticket- £800 cheaper per year than going from Hebden!

Ah yes, I thought it was around there somewhere, thanks. Just before the turn off on the right where the vans go sometimes?

There's an old style black & white ring painted pole on the left, as you head down into Littleborough, that used to mark the border. The sign is long gone.
