Hebden Bridge - news and chat

[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

Blimey, how many celebrities can you have in one weekend

Jamie Oliver on Friday, then William of Walworth and Debs on Saturday
nice to see them here again though

It's a labour club and run a bit like a workingmens club. I and a lot of Hebden people pay an annual membership fee to the club. All the working mens clubs I've been in have charged a fee for temporary membership if you are not a member.

This, its basically a private club, you want to get in you have to join, even if the membership is temporary.

Need to get to HB sometime soon aswell haven't seen my little sister for ages now.

Does anyone know if Hebden bonfire is going to be any good this year/was it any good last year? Really want to go this year.

Shirl, every time Hebden Bridge is mentioned, Catterleen Ferrier, safe in the arms of Jesus sings in my head.

This is the place which used to be really hippyish in like the 60s right?

 

[Shevek]

my partner has made 2 episodes of a radio soap about HB possibly to be aired on BBC Radio Manchester.

Yes it is and many of the inhabitants are still happily living in the sixties

Wooohoo! I like Hebden Bridge.

 

[Shirl]

Less than a year after being 10 feet deep in flood water. Well done eh!

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Let us hope they improve signage* to the station for drunks.

Hebden is a nice little place though.

*and directions given by residents...

You should have stayed out late with me and Fez909 and then you could have been chauffeured to the station

You should have provided me with a drunk-proof map to the station.

Well done Hebden, but on the other hand it's a bloody awful place to shop if you need basics like socks or anything actually useful.

Tod martket's the place for socks.
Everyone here knows we don't have enough proper shops but at least you can buy soap that looks like cakes

Cornholme erotic books note attacks 'cesspit' Hebden Bridge

A village goes viral when an angry note appears on its book-swap box railing against "filthy" titles.

I'm assuming it's from the book exchange thing, but I'm more sure how genuine it is...

Have I ever been to Hebden Bridge? Not sure. But I really want to; taking a nose around, I see it has a Tibetan restaurant - WOW, I would really
like to try that. Is it possible that Hebden has more pubs than places of worship?
