Hyde Name Origins.

The name "HYDE" is derived from the hide, a measure of land for taxation purposes, taken to be that area of land necessary to support a peasant family. In later times it was taken to be equivalent to 120 acres .

Not changed very much on the outside at all... it as been quite a while since I had a pint in here, I must put that right soon. I noticed they have good deals on their food as well... all in all this as always been a good pub with a good reputation and their bonfires nights are excellent.

I used to like it in here but not been for years!

I cannot believe I lived within walking distance to this pub for a few years and never went inside. What was I thinking:( Looks like a lovely pub. Man Utd has always been my favourite team so I would be right at home:)
