The Church is still thriving as the United Church, on Union Street in Hyde.
It can be seen centre of the photo, with the library to the left.

  1. What an austere place the old building was. I remember it well as we had to pass it going to and from the library and baths. Love the modern aerial photo though. Thank you.

  3. I learned to swim at the baths on Union Street, during the war one pool area became a restaurant, we ate there from time to time, after swimming a doughnut at Togos was a nice treat.

  4. A pennyworth of wafer biscuits from Meschia's was our after-swimming snack. Think I'd have preferred the doughnut though!
