This is defined (arbitrarily) as the Harberton side of the parish = Harberton electoral roll area (above the orange line and inside the blue line in the following image), which is also the area of coverage of the Harberton Email Circulation.
The Harberton Village Website can be thought of having come into being
originally on 8th July 2000 when the domain name www.harberton.org.uk was
first registered. The first few pages on the site appeared as advertising for
fundraising folk concerts being run in Harberton Parish Hall and other
activities at the Hall. (This domain name has subsequently been re-registered
locally by Harberton Cricket Club although their main web address is
www.harbertoncc.com.)
The more memorable and handy name www.harbertondevon.co.uk was registered
and used from 10th December 2000.
Due to various circumstances, some or all hit counters used on the site have been automatically reset without prior notice on several occasions. The last such occasion was 10 April 2006. The main counter on the Welcome page reached about 8200 between 9/5/03 and 27/4/05. This main hit counter reached over 6000 between 15/4/05 and 10/4/06.
