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 .

Name that show....
A nice picture sent in from Angela Garland, showing the participants in a production at Hyde Theatre around 1959, all members of St Paul's RC School Newton, Hyde.
If you can name the play that would be great and how about a few names..... thank you Angela for sending this in and making this post possible. If you have any pictures you'd like to share please do so.
A few names were given me by my mate Trevor Stopford,I attended that school and thought I recognised one or two.The Mcglocklin twinns Pauline and Christine,Elizebeth Rawlinson and I think Ann burns?.
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!
