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 .

Silver Jubilee 1935
As we are about to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee, here is a medal to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary in 1935 .
Sent in to us by Ceecee.
Many thanks :)
I wonder whether anything like this has been commissioned by Tameside for Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee?
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!

Thanks Ceecee
Always nice to see how our old Hyde Council got involved and helped to make history more interesting for us now.
