The North of England has the best town halls in the country. Todmorden's is my favourite. It straddles the historic border between Lancashire and Yorkshire. Many a fellow in the building's ballroom wooed a girl in Yorkshire and waltzed her back into more genteel Lancashire. 🌹

I have stepped into a fairy tale 🤍 Blossoming blackthorn holloways feel like pathways through the briars surrounding Sleeping Beauty🤍 I saw marsh harriers & adders and heard a bittern booming.
