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 .

George Wain Update
So nice to be able to bring you a result from the previous newspaper article about George Wain. Nice to see that some of his former pupils got their work back !
Thanks to Tom Uprichard for sending us the clip.
Very much appreciated!

I remember going to George's house on Dowson Rd for my Cubs badge in art. ( I was in the 4th Hyde St George's) I remember making a plasticine model of an elephant. I passed and got my badge plus George treated me to a slice of chocolate cake. Result! This was in 1965.
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!
