mjmooney Posted May 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2021 I keep forgetting that most of you are unfamiliar with Hebden Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I was only reading about it recently, before this library spat with it’s neighbours, as I had wondered how it became the lesbian capital of the country. For those who don’t know (I would imagine you already know, Mike), but are curious, basically it seems like it’s mainly down to there being a big artistic community there combined with cheaper accommodation in the 60’s/70’s. More liberal, free thinking and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More liberal, free thinking and the like. Yep. It's basically a hippy enclave - lefty, anarchist, gay, lesbian, arty, musical, druggy, pagan, vegan, generally 'alternative'. Real hand-knitted yogurt territory. But still plenty of old school Yorkshire folk, too. It's actually a really nice place, got some good pubs and shops, and surrounded by nice countryside. We go there often for walks or gigs, and we've often said we wouldn't mind living there, but for one major problem - it's in a deep valley, and prone to serious flooding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2021 If anybody's familiar with Totnes in Devon, it's pretty much 'Hebden Bridge South'. They're the less touristy versions of Glastonbury, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totnes is such an odd odd place, lots of rich folk pretending to be poor. faux-bohemians in Glastonbury festival trousers swanning around in Range Rovers... such a fake town.
