WE ARE DOING a quick poll to find out where in Hedon our readers actually live.
We can use the information gathered to work out if we need to do more to gather news from particular areas.
We have split Hedon up into SIX areas – plus 7. Outside Hedon (from anywhere else in the UK or world – do leave a comment and tell us where!) and latterly added option 8 to indicate those within Hedon’s boundary, but not captured by the map. We know it’s always a dodgy thing to do, because not everybody likes to be ‘labelled’ – but it is just to give us a rough idea of where our readers come from.
So looking at the Map – which of these areas best describes where you live?
If you are not sure where on the map you are, but still want to help, please leave a comment or email us at hedonblog@gmx.com with the name of your street.
Thanks for your help with this.
We ran the same survey a couple of years ago and will compare the results next week.
Thank you for your help.

I live in Grantham but am still a Hedon Girl left in 1967 to join the WRAF.
Running this until Thursday 22nd October – if you haven’t indicated where you live in the quick straw poll above, please do 🙂
I live in ontaio canada
Born in middlesborough teesside
I’m definitely outside Hedon boundary living in Stamford Lincs.
I have the same ‘problem’ as Janet. I live on Preston Road too (opposite Rush Lyvers Fishing Lakes. Wait ’til I see you in the pub Ray!
Added an Option 8 Chris and Janet!
Cheers Ray, vote duly cast.
Unfortunately this map does not cover all of the area that is designated as the town of Hedon. I live off Preston Road, Hedon, just before you get to the sign which marks the boundary where Hedon starts/finishes on this road. It’s never included in the map of Hedon but Hedon does extend along this road until just before South Holderness school grounds start. So exactly which area do I place myself in?
Janet Bucknall
Ah! Good question Janet!…. Alas, I’ve not got a good answer! 🙁
Perhaps I’ll add a ‘Outer Hedon’ option above!?
Thanks Ray!
