Sharneyford

Sharneyford

Sharneyford is a small hamlet residing on Todmorden road alone (A681), between Bacup and Todmorden, home to one of the smallest schools in Britain, "Sharneyford Primary School", created to work the largest cotton mill in Britain in the Industrial Period, but was demolished later on, this "Mill" used to be slightly north of where the school was and still is, and used a chapel further up the hill for the general religious needs, but that duty was later moved to a church further down the hill, and the chapel became an engine-house, for the railway that provided transport to and from the mill, when the mill was destroyed, the engine-house was emptied and abandoned.
