Shore Road, Todmorden

History & Location

Kitson Royd Farm is located off Shore Road, on the Todmorden hillside nestled between the Cornholme Valley and Kebs R0oad/ The Long Causeway. The farmhouse is believed to date back to the 17th century and was known to be inhabited by at least 1725, as it was mentioned in the will of Joshua Fielden (1650-1725). The current owners have been here over fifty years during which they have renovated both the farmhouse and the attached barn, to create a substantial family home. It is approximately a 10 minute drive to Todmorden town centre and station, 3 miles and within 7 miles, 20 minute drive from Hebden Bridge.
