Hebden Bridge is a market town in West Yorkshire, England. It is in the Upper Calder Valley, 8 miles west of Halifax and 14 miles north-east of Rochdale, at the confluence of the River Calder and the River Hebden. In 2004, the Calder Valley ward, covering Hebden Bridge, Old Town, and part of Todmorden, had a population of 11,549; the town itself has a population of approximately 4,500. Hebden Bridge also grew to include a cinema and offices for Hebden Bridge Urban District Council. Hebden Bridge has no swimming pool, although for some years there was a small training pool for children in the adult education centre on Pitt Street. Hebden Bridge had its own cooperative society but during the 1960s, it was defrauded and went bankrupt. The old Co-op building became a hotel and was later converted into flats. The Co-op returned in the 1980s with a supermarket on Market Street, on the site of an old mill. Source
