Before Manchester Road bridge was built, this lane followed the line of Wilson Brook to where it met the River Tame and where there was a ford. It meant you only had to ford one stretch of water and didn't have to cross the brook and the river ... and of course it was perhaps the only place where the river was fordable.Bill Lancashirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-16998655841666654622012-03-20T23:19:56.323+00:002012-03-20T23:19:56.323+00:00There was a post last August showing a brewers jug...There was a post last August showing a brewers jug from Gee Cross Botanic Beer Company.

The family left Haddiscoe for Hyde in 1877, and set up home at 7 Travis Street. He married Elizabeth Ann Ball, the daughter of William and Ann Ball, at Stockport in August 1891. William Ball died in 1892, and after his death Charles Crispin Minister set up a brewery of his own at 14 John Street, Gee Cross. The brewery continued making beer and herbal medicin until around the outbreak of the First World War. Charles Crispin Minister died in 1955, aged 88 years in Ipswich, Suffolk. Elizabeth Ann Minister died in 1957, age 86 years, at Burton on Trent, Staffordshire. It is no use looking for John Street, Gee Cross on any modern day map, the former John Street is now named Rock Street.<br /><br /> Jeffrey Stafford.Jeffrey Staffordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-83266208506123451602012-03-20T11:39:46.030+00:002012-03-20T11:39:46.030+00:00thanks very much jeffrey its nice to see other bit...thanks very much jeffrey its nice to see other bits of old hyde which are long gonewestarstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588933344999173151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-90545537602323316592012-03-20T10:14:03.712+00:002012-03-20T10:14:03.712+00:00What a fabulous read !
