Hyde Name Origins.

Is the Big Tree now known officially as the Falklands Tree? It also commemorates troops killed in Northern Ireland.

Thanks Dave for the photos. I have only recently found that my two great uncles Frank and Harold Beard are commemorated there and so will travel up from Birmingham and attend a future rememberance service . It looks a beautiful spot. My family owned Beard's Outfitters at 96/98 Market Street at the time of WW1.
