In June 2005 Hebden Bridge featured in the national media
for being the best town in Britain for independent shops.
The Independent said "Hebden Bridge, in the Yorkshire Pennines, scored the
highest for best retaining its individual character."
Whilst The Times reported “Hebden Bridge, a market town in
West Yorkshire, is, however, named the most characterful
shopping centre.”
There is a tremendous variety of independent shops from cool
fashion, and exclusive jewellery to antiques to hand made
quality crafts; from organic groceries and fair-trade shops to
traditional butchers and bakers; and from clever kitchen
gadgets to exotic underwear – Hebden Bridge has them all !
