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 .

Sam Marshall Hats Postcard.
Here is another postcard concerning an earlier post we did on Sam Marshalls Hat Warehouse.
Seems like he was quite famous for his hats, Countrywide! sam-marshalls-warehouse
I think we should get a champaign going to bring back hat wearing.... Trilby hats seemed to be popular last summer.. I'm sure we could start a trend here in Hyde... ha!
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!
