Hebden Bridge's own community website, thirty years old, and a Calderdale photographer's weekly picture and history

The Calder Valley has more writers per head than most of England. Its own websites are about the valley itself: its mills, pubs, floods and planning rows. HebWeb has been Hebden Bridge's community website since 1995 and still posts town news every week. A photographer has documented Calderdale from Brighouse to Todmorden since 2013 and posts one picture a week, with a short piece of history.

They lead to the town's restored signal box and to a church in Cragg Vale on England's longest continuous road climb.
