Hyde, Cheshire

I said last week that I lived in Hyde, Cheshire, and today's photos show a few views of the town and surrounding area. To the south of the town lies Werneth Low Country Park on top of which is located the Hyde War Memorial. This can be seen in the photo below which was taken from Mottram Old Road.

The next photo was taken from the top of Werneth Low close to the War Memorial and is a view looking over the centre of the town. The Town Hall can be seen in the centre of the picture and behind that the M67 bypass road leading to the M60 Manchester ring road at Denton.

The photograph below is of Nelson Street with the terraced houses which most people would associate with a Northern mill town. Much of the centre of Hyde consists of streets such as this, some with the doors opening directly onto the street and some with a small garden or paved area a few feet deep.

But you don't need to go far to find much more rural scenes. The photograph below was taken in Apple Street which runs to the east from the top of Werneth Low and joins Mottram Old Road just before that road crosses the Hattersley boundary and becomes Stockport Road.
