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 .
Hi Tom, I was doing some upkeep on my dashboard, and came across Wigger's World. So I dropped by to see what has been going on, and followed your link here. What an interesting subject! I have never been to the UK, but I enjoyed the pics and postcards here. Keep it up!
If you have any pictures, stories, memories, or items from or about Hyde and you would like to share them here with other like minded Hydonians please get in touch with us. Either leave us a comment or even better email us:
Tom, Dave, Paul and I would like to say thank you to everyone for contributing to this blog in some small way - even if that means just reading it! It's been more of a success than we could ever have dreamt of and that's all down to you ! It was our intention to get Hyde "on the record" as it were and it seems to be heading in the right direction. We are very proud of Hyde and would like it's history to live on!

The flower seller on the bottom card was in my class at junior school :) Glad to see he's still standing the markets.
