Hebden Bridge

Pennine Pens and the Hebden Bridge Web are supporting the anniversary of five hundred years of the Hebden Bridge by sponsoring this site.

We are inviting people to send in five hundred words about our town. At this early stage, we have just eight pages of 500 words but we hope that by the beginning of the anniversary year of 2010 we will have a collection of five hundred pieces of five hundred words.

We are looking for all types of writing - interesting, comic, emotional, whatever Hebden Bridge says to you. It might be an anecdote, a recollection, a moving moment or just your general feelings about our quirky town.

But it must be five hundred words - no more, no less.

You can send us your Word file, or text as email.


"It was great fun to write. The 500 word challenge is fantastic!"


See YouTube video of Jason Elliott interviewing Chris Ratcliffe about the five hundred words project.
