Mapping Hedon’s Local History

Posted on May 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

AS PART OF OUR INVOLVEMENT in the HypARlocal project the Hedon Blog has started to map some of the articles done about the town’s local history.

Eventually, the aim will be to provide a service for those with Smartphones and other mobile devices, where you will be able to scan a particular street with your device’s camera, and an App will bring up local stories and articles associated with that particular place/street/building.

We have started mapping some of the stories and articles that have previously been written by the Blog. The resulting map on Google should be available by clicking the link below – although the results do not always look the same on different browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc).

We do want to get the historical information right – and the locations in the right places. If you can help with this, then Ray Duffill at the Hedon Blog would be pleased to hear from you! E-mail him at hedonblog@gmx.com or leave a comment.

Click the link below to take you to the Google Map – and then click on one of the Blue place-markers to see the article associated with that location.

This is all very experimental – but very exciting!

Wednesday Writings – Lost Hope

Posted on May 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

Lost Hope by Lorraine Ellis (Flo)

Disillusioned,
Dejected,
Detached from his past.
Alone,
Lost,
In a City so vast.
Dismal streets like he thought like so many before.
Where paved with gold.
A future secure.
A place of his own,
Where he could lay roots.
Rest his head,
Lay down his boots.
But here he exists in this squalid hell.
A prison cell,
A Pent house lost.
Walls close around him,
Black mildew,
Reeking of poverty.
The clock on the wall ticks
‘Let go, let go.
No one will know.
Nameless,
Faceless,
Lost,
Another John Doe…

Inert,
Silent,
An empty shell
An open door,

Bright light,
Beckoning,
A heavenly glow
Caressed in warmth,
He followed the light
He is now at peace…

New funding for Youth Group – volunteers are needed!

Posted on May 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

HEDON YOUTH GROUP has received some funding from the East Riding Council as they explain on their website:

“Great news. The East Riding Council has awarded us £2,042. This will be able to fund the group for the next year and pay for lots for trips such as laser quest, Rock City, bowling, Flamingo Land, transport, DJ’s, footballs, etc, and even our rent for the building. BRILL.” Youth Group website

This is really good news for the Youth Group, but they still want even more VOLUNTEERS to help with their activities. They meet every Friday between 7pm and 9pm at the Red Cross Hut, Sheriff’s Highway, Hedon and rely on the support of the local community. The Group is run by volunteers.

The Group needs your help and support. If you are able to help either regularly or occasionally – this might be serving drinks, leading a game or craft session, or taking down names – then please contact them.

They are also always on the look-out for anyone who can donate any equipment to the group or give an interesting talk. You can contact them:
