Hellesdon is a village approximately 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) north-west of Norwich in Norfolk. It has around 11000 inhabitants.
[edit] History
Hellesdon is built on the site of the old Firs raceway (which was the home of the Norwich Stars and Ove Fundin), and the area really started when the speedway was completed. Before this time, the area consisted of various fields and farms, as well as the odd country house.
[edit] Amenities
Hellesdon has a number of small shops, a supermarket, six schools (one high school, two middle schools and three first schools), and Norwich Airport. There is also a community centre and a library. The high school, Hellesdon High, is a specialist Technology College, and shares a Sixth Form partnership with Taverham High and Costessey High. There is a mental institute as well.
