The Roll of Honour
The Roll of Honour once hung in the Old Working Men's Club in Luddenden village. It eventually found its way onto eBay where it was up for auction. It was purchased jointly by the Luddenden Conservation Society and the Luddenden Mayor's Fund and can now be seen in the Lord Nelson. Please visit The Roll of Honour site for more details.

Luddenden won a Gold Award in Yorkshire In Bloom 2007, as well as the Spring Floral Award. Please see the Luddenden In Bloom website or the Hebden Bridge Times for more details. The Lord Nelson won a Silver Gilt Award and landlady Debbie Collinge won the Sawley Arms Trophy "for individual promotion of Yorkshire In Bloom".
