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 .

Cenotaph
Thank you to Maxine Rogers and Adam Heelis for sharing this picture taken by their late father Alan.
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!

Love the sky in this shot..
It's a very good photo of a beautiful place.
I remember going up to the cenotaph after school with Josie to see the snow. Perhaps this was when the photo was taken?
I have fond memories of the Heelis family when we all used to live at Acorn Avenue - and as my horse is called Adam, I often think of those days!!
Love the sky in this shot..
