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 .

Views from Werneth Low
The following pictures were sent in by our regular contributor and reader Susan Jaleel.. Susan took these on Werneth Low on 22nd May 2010 - the evening of which, she says, had been the hottest Spring day for a long time .
Thank you Susan... always a pleasure to open an email and find pictures attached... feel free to send in any you have that we could show.
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!
