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 .

Gee Cross Mill, Gate Post

Here are three shots of the gateposts that belonged to Gee Cross Mill on Apethorn Lane. Now ,sadly ,all that is left of this fine building. The site was taken over after demolision and used as land for private housing.

The gateposts were to the left of the building, as seen on this photo.

Will add some more photos to it when I've been down and taken some of the houses that stand there now.
