I spent an hour checking out all the photo's but the nearest was from 1980 showing "Manfield" shoes as the name of Cable was changed to. <br /><br />One also from 1915 but prior to Cable. I need one from the '50's or '60's. It just seems that every pic of that area cuts off just before showing Cable!!! <br /><br />You get Woolies, Brownson's etc but alas not Cable. I have just bought a few pics from their site and would love one of Cable so if I have missed it let me know what page it was on, <br /><br />Really WL thanks again very much.

This was right opposite the market and we had Woolies and Brownson's across the road. Had photography lessons at Searle's above the shop. <br /><br />There used to be a tobacconist next to the confectioners. I used to buy 2d "Joystick" fags for the pictures! A long smoke!<br /><br />Wish I could get a photo of Cable shop. Been searching for ages.<br /><br />I dressed all 11 windows & as soon as I had finished had to start all over again.

It was a place of entertainment as much as anything else, with characters already mentioned who will never be forgotten. How I remember Jock and his stall - all that junk and I could never understand a word he said! The pot stall was my favourite. I think the tripe stall in the green huts was Winterbottom's. Fancy having a tripe stall opposite the wonderful and much missed UCP!<br /><br />We used to get our grocery order from Lowes in the market hall; I think this was a throwback to the time when the grocer kept your ration book and you were registered to buy stuff from him when things were scarce. Everything was weighed out and sugar was in blue bags.<br /><br />I hated the swingboats because they ranked alongside the trolley buses for bringing your breakfast back! In the late 50s/early 60s there was a big ride outside the market hall - the Jungle Ride but we called it the Jigger. On the way home from Astley we would get off the bus at Hyde and hang out round it for ages in the hope of meeting nice lads from Hyde Grammar. It played loud pop music while the ride was going, my favourite being The Shadows Wonderful Land. <br /><br />Our Saturday dinner was always the same - meat and potato pie from Clough's - delicious! The shoe shop at the end of that block was Cable.<br /><br />Actually, the wonderful description given fits nicely into Rutherford's painting of the market.Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-73236478738827072172012-07-16T19:48:47.067+01:002012-07-16T19:48:47.067+01:00What a wonderful write up of the market in days go...What a wonderful write up of the market in days gone by, makes me remember how good Hyde was back then, in the fifties my mum, brother and I would walk into Hyde down Market St, stopping at some of the lovely shops on our way down, when we got to the market, we would get the fruit and veg from one of the wooden cabins opposite the UCP, and if we were getting a bit tired and hungry by now, mum would let us go on the swingboats and buy us a wagon wheel (and them wagon wheels were big in those days, so they kept us happy and quiet for a while!) Oh yes, and Saturdays, it was Jocks stall, what a magical stall this was for us kids. It was a real treat to go into Hyde in the fifties, Hyde was full of character back then you could buy absolutely anything you needed. Lovely to see the old photos, makes me feel very nostalgic.Trishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-72445710401413084332012-07-16T19:13:52.410+01:002012-07-16T19:13:52.410+01:00At very important ceremonies in Hyde, the time hon...At very important ceremonies in Hyde, the time honoured custom of "Roasting Ye Ox" took place.
