Hebden Bridge - news and chat

[pinkmonkey]

The perfect stoners' mode of transport. I love it how even accidents happen in slow motion. Once you know you're gonna crash you can practically put the kettle on before it happens.

Had a quick nose at the online estate agents a couple of weeks ago Shirl. There seems to be a lot of people wanting to sell and not much buying. Maybe they need to get real and reduce their prices realistically

How can you tell who is buying with online estate agents?

There's a website somewhere that has the actual sale price of a property in any location/street.

Hebden is a beautiful town

I think that pic won some competition in the Guardian recently.

You should come and visit again

Beautiful.

There are a few too many antique shops and expensive tea rooms in Hebden but the woods are ace. Grew up in todmorden and like there and sowerbybridge more. Tod markets muh better than Hebdens and it's still got good scenery and a park though the pubs aren't as good. Calderdales lush all round though.

There's only one antique shop in Hebden now and a few cafes but hardly any tea rooms, when did you last visit?

I agree about Tod market though, although that has gone downhill over the last couple of years and there are often a lot of empty stalls on there now.

Has anyone actually taken a bus to Hebden Bridge?

 

[IC3D]

I spent a dirty romantic weekend there, had to ask the lad behind the bar in the hotel to help me with the johnny machine, I think its that way on purpose cheeky feckers. tis a really beautiful I'd happily live there

 

[Shirl]

Well, I've taken buses from Howarth, Todmorden and Halifax to Hebden Bridge. Why do you ask?

 

[Fledgling]

Hebden Bridge is a great place, visited over the summer to do some very exciting (and hair raising) mountain biking, a good reason for another visit once my leg's back in business. Wouldn't mind spending more time in the cafes either, bet it's wonderful in October with the leaves changing colour.

I used to live there and I know who the agents are, and I can read

 

[Shirl]

Yesterday the town was overrun with PR types as they were filming the Christmas Sainsbury/Jamie Oliver ad.

We had fake snow and everything ...........including the windows in Bridge Mill being plastered with mock Tesco & Asda signs
