Hedon History Walks next monthly illustrated talk is taking place this Thursday 26th June at our usual venue of Hedon British Legion on Magdalen Gate Hedon, at 7pm. The subject will be by Tony Porter and the subject will be 'The Up and Downs of Horse Racing in and around Hedon'. Although the 'race course' was not actually in Hedon other courses were and we hear about the enthusiasm over experience and perseverance rather than economics.
We look forward to seeing you there. £5 on the door.

The Two Nicks at Fort Paull are doing a fantastic job of bringing the fort back to life after a period of neglect. Lucy Brooke, who is part of both Fort Paull and Hedon History Walks, is giving the Hedon History Walk talk this Thursday and will give the other side to the history of the Fort. Not the guns and mines but everything else that went on at the Fort. Always extremely well researched come along to the Hedon British Legion on Magdalen Gate at 7 pm on Thursday 29th May. Support the Legion and get an insight into the resurrection of the Fort. £5 on the night.

Our latest talk will be at the Hedon British Legion on Magdalen Gate on Thursday 29th May, starting at 7pm. This month the talk is by Lucy Brook on a subject she is very close to;

Fort Paull: from Beacons to Barracks
In this month’s talk, Lucy will be looking at the early and social history of the Humber defences at Paull. She is one of the volunteers there and is particularly interested in its archive material. We’ll discuss everything from medieval beacons and the reigns of Henry VIII and Charles I, to the rowdy Regency militias, the tea parties of the Edwardian era and the New Age travellers of the 20th century. Please note — this is not about the military history of the fort, so if you’re a fan of gun facts this perhaps isn’t one for you!
Thursday May 29th, 7pm at Hedon Royal British Legion
£5 payable on the night

Just in time for the change in the weather, (impeccable timing as ever, so fingers crossed), There will be three history walks this weekend.
The first will follow the route of the old HEDON HAVEN. 11am Sunday 25th May meeting at Johnson's Corner car park (///mildest.ahead.printout).
On Monday 26th the morning walk will be the TOWN WALK. Meet in the Market Place (///corals.powering.nesting) at 11am.
The afternoon offering is the HEDON WEST walk. We will start from Market Hill, (///couriers.coiling.bedspread) at 2pm.

Each walk will be between 11/2 and 2 hours long. I guarantee even locals will find out something new, and everybody will finish with a much greater appreciation of our town.

The Haven and West walks can be muddy after rain so please wear appropriate footwear. No booking required just come along at the start time and place. £5 on the day.

Just a reminder about Thursday May 1st. No, not the elections but the Hedon History Walk talk! The story of one William Lambert White is not perhaps as well known as his home Lambert House on Sheriff Highway in Hedon, but the man was a larger than life figure, sportsman, traveler, inventor, soldier, businessman and benefactor. Come along for this illustrated talk by Tony Porter at Hedon British Legion , Magdalen Gate at 7pm Thursday 1st May. £5 on the door.

Tomorrow evening's Hedon History Talk brings women centre stage for International Women's Month and Mrs. Day. Lucy Brooke will be looking at women's lives in Hedon and Holderness from the medieval period into the 1900's; love and marriage, employment, health and social issues. Please note, this talk contains some graphic material (still birth and infanticide) so Lucy thought it would be best to flag this up.
To hear about the 'good old days' come along to the Hedon British Legion on Magdalen Gate at 7pm on Thursday 27th March. £5 on the door.
