A Load of Celebration Bollards The women of local institutions in Hedon have decorated more than twenty of the streets' bollards with knitted decorations for the Queen's Platinum celebrations.  What a novel idea!

Posh Bollard More than twenty of Hedon's street bollards have been covered with knitted covers, made by the local women's organisations, for the Queen's Platinum celebrations.  This is probably the best one (but only in my opinion ladies!).

Three Fields of Cereals The photo was taken, in the low evening sun, from roughly 100m up.  I've no idea why the copse has been planted here, but it's been here for many years.  The diagonal line across the field is the Hedon to Staithes Road, Preston footpath.  The conscientious farmer always cuts a footpath across his field every year whether it be wheat, barley, rapeseed or potatoes - the usual crops in this part of East Yorkshire.

One Little Island The road island and yellow and black marker have made all of the difference to indicate that the road from Preston into Hedon at Souttergate is a one-way street. Despite the no entry signs and 'NO ENTRY' writing on the road, it was a regular occurrence for some road users to go the wrong way down this road into Hedon centre instead of using Station Road to do so.  The Hedon one-way system was introduced in the 1970s but it's only within the last six months that the small road island and marker have been installed there!!
