Rachel Low, Homeopath
Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine, founded on solid principles, which has existed for over 200 years. The Law of Similars is the guiding principle of Homeopathy. It states that those symptoms which a substance can cause, it can also cure. It is the person who is treated, not the disease. With its emphasis on treating the whole person, physically and emotionally, it gets to the root of the problem. Physical health, emotional wellbeing and greater overall wellbeing is a result.

Innovation café bar and shop, at Bridge Mill
WELCOME TO HEBDEN BRIDGE MILL. A building which has stood at the centre of this town, even before there was a town!
It was built following an agreement between the Lords Of the Manors of Wadsworth and Heptonstall, dated the 3rd February 1314, it stood beside the original timber packhorse bridge across the River Hebden, preceding the ‘Old Bridge’ (1510) still remaining today.
Abandoned in 1956 and totally derelict, the mill was purchased in 1972 by the Fletcher family, to save it from demolition. Today, it once again stands proud, fully restored, beside the clear rushing waters of the River Hebden. It is now the Innovation shop and cafe-bar, at ground floor level, and several interesting shops and a really good Italian Restaurant – Il Mulino – above. The building is run by David Fletcher, his partner Hilary, and their team.

Welcome to Hebden Bridge Little Theatre
Hebden Bridge Little Theatre was formed in 1924 and has been producing plays almost continuously ever since, in places as various as the Co-operative Hall, the Picture House, the Band Rooms on the park, and for a prolonged period (1937–1977) in the Ground Floor of the Trades Club.
This came to an end when they decided to create their own premises by converting a coach garage on the present Holme Street site – a seventy seat, ‘little theatre’ in the truest sense.
For more than a decade audiences have warmed to its intimate atmosphere, but it eventually became so dilapidated that the supporters of the theatre had to embark on a major fund-raising and building project, that culminated in the opening of the present 120 seat theatre in 1993.
