Hidden gems

Welcome back to East Yorkshire Hour,

We hope that you enjoyed our last #EYorksHour session, but if you missed it then you can read a roundup here: http://eyorkshour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/28januaryroundup.html

Last week we spoke about ‘New starts’ with conversations around new projects, services, start up businesses, events and of course what’s new for 2014. 

Behind the scenes we’ve been digging out and following twitter accounts from across East Yorkshire to help grow our network and make #EYorksHour even more beneficial for the people who participate. 

Therefore tonight, our theme is ‘Hidden gems’ and want your help to find the businesses that are based  in the many towns and villages of East Yorkshire. 

Can you recommend a local boutique?

Is there a coffee shop nestled in the village where you live?

Are you a small business situated in one of the rural towns? 

Tell us about some of your favourite places to visit in #EYorksHour

Feel free to join in the conversation using #EYorksHour 

A little more info about East Yorkshire

Excluding Kingston upon Hull there are several areas of settlement, each giving rise to distinctive types of small to medium-sized towns and villages. Cottingham and Willerby are exceptional in that they are suburban villages which are almost contiguous with the Hull urban area. Bridlington is the most populous of the coastal settlements, which also include Flamborough, Hornsea, Withernsea and Aldbrough. Towns and villages on the flat agricultural area of Holderness are Hedon and Roos, and nestling in the Great Wold Valley is Rudston. Along the eastern foot of the Wolds lie Beverley, Bishop Burton, Driffield and Lockington. In the low-lying lands close to the Humber Estuary are Goole, Brough, North Ferriby, Hessle and Kirk Ella. Stamford Bridge, Pocklington, Market Weighton, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, Howden and South Cave all lie to the north and west of the area, between the River Derwent and the scarp slope of the Wolds.
