[edit] Re-worked

I have re-worked the article slightly. It's not perfect, but still better than the awful version that it replaces. Unfortunately, despite being from the Tyne and Wear/Northumberland border I don't know a great deal about Hedley (it is VERY small). If it was Wylam or Hexham (the town I was born in) that would be another matter. Still, if anyone has anything to add feel free to. Also, with regard to its name, I think it MAY be named after an industrialist named Hedley who was born in Newburn, Northumberland (now a village in Newcastle). I'm not sure so I'll just leave it out for the mo. hedpeguyuk 18:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is confusing Hedley on the Hill with Heddon on the Wall.

How? Please elaborate? I'll admit that this isn't the greatest article around. I don't know Hedley that well, although I live in Crawcrook and was born in Hexham so I know Wylam, Stocksfield and the like well. I've also (obviously) never been too far away from it! I personally wouldn't say it's in Hadrian's Wall Country, for a start it's south of the Tyne. However, that's what the official websiste claims so I'll go with it. If you meant the final sentence, where it claims that Heddon is close to Hadrian's wall country, then I've fixed that. Also, please sign your comments. hedpeguyuk 21 June 2006 7:45 (UTC)
