What was wrong with the building and did we need another store in Hyde?
ReplyDeleteI know they found asbestos in the building but I think it was more a case of the school having no field nearby for the childrens sports activity - either that or money does indeed talk ,Jean!
ReplyDeletehello hydonian and jean i think its a case of money talks as well because they also pulled the clinic down and the old municipal building with the bifg pillars down that was opposite greenfield school
ReplyDeleteHi Steve
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.. I am glad you mentioned what else was lost along with these buildings.. the Municipal building you mentioned was a cracker... and these big pillars did make it look very important. If anyone as pictures of this building and the others mentioned please send them in.
i used to go to greenfield street school when i was a child and after leaving hyde for a number of years, was shocked when i came back and saw the school was gone.
ReplyDeleteI can well imagine the changes you must have seen... none more so than coming back to see what disappeared in the making of Adsa... apart from the motor way I can't think of such a change in my life time.
ReplyDeletewow thats memeories i use to go to this primary school late 80's early 90's great memories.
ReplyDeleteWhen i was at greeny the houses were called,Green,Field,School,Hyde.I think the tall blonde teacher was Mr phil Keates.there are a lot of photos and info on Leigh st and greeny on friends reunited.Brooks iron mongers warehouse was also demolished for asda.For my self i feel Hyde has lost a lot of its history in my life time.Aspland hospital where i was born has gone, Leigh st and greenfield st also gone.does anyone remember the Kingston stink?I got my first proper racer from Duckworths it was an orange Eddy Mercs i rode it every where.
ReplyDeleteHi there Anon:
ReplyDeleteYes I certainly do remember the Kingston Stink... if I can find a picture or adverts I'll do a post on it.. thank you for commenting.

ReplyDelete"I was a pupil at greeny since 1971 very happy memories of the juniours & infants. I was football team captain Mr Noble was my teacher + football manager, other teachers I can recall is Mrs Shepard headmistress (never liked her) Mrs Jones/Farley, Mrs Wilde, some of classmates I can recall David Jewitt we both went onto Longendale! David Smith, Peter Oldham,Chris Sharl Duncan Oldham, Elizabeth Berry, Janet Philips, Vincent Faffahi.. Karl Shelmerdene, many I'm sure will come to mind again"

ReplyDeleteI was a pupil @ greenfield, I used 2 live opposite the car park on boardman st but then moved wen I was infants. I was in the class of '98, the last year6 in that old school. I always wondered what the buildings are behind the school, we were told it's the old gym & the big building, entrance on water st was the old high school... But cud any1 tell me what it was?!?!?
