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 .

Hyde Cricket Club
I came across these photographs recently which I took of a match up at Werneth Low sometime in the late 1980s. Does anyone recognise any of the players involved?

It's a lovely setting for the club,isn't it! The views are spectacular.
Picture 4 Tony Ghilkes at fine leg; Picture 5 Lee Brown at slip Picture 6 Tony again at short leg, think the silly mid-on might be Peter Bolger, Wicketkeeper was also called Tony but can't remember surname at present.
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!
