Some of the roadways that travel through the town are Brookhaven Road, East Knowlton Road, West Rose Valley Road, and Todmorden Drive. The neighborhood's elevation is 141 feet.

History

The area is home to the historical Todmorden Mansion that was built in 1787 by Jacob Benninghove, a tobacconist from Philadelphia. Benninghove purchased the land after it was confiscated from the British loyalist Vernon family. He proceeded to construct a dam on Ridley Creek in order to water-powered his snuff mill. The mill, now referred to as Old Mill, is currently being used as the town hall.

In 1831, Samuel Bancroft bought the house and gave it the name Todmorden. In 1842, Bancroft lost the house to bankruptcy but was able to repurchase it in 1854, where he lived until 1889 and restarted his business, John Bancroft & Son. The mill was one of the largest woolen mills during the 1870s. Bancroft constructed tunnels and secret chambers throughout the house and property that were used during the Underground Railroad.
