Does anybody know the answer ?
George Street was certainly a contender .

the arrival of the M67.

I was always told George Street held the record at one time for having the most pubs on any street in Great Britain.
Along with the fact that our neighbour, Stalybridge, had the pub with the longest name.
The factory at the Junction with Hoviley Brow was Oldham & Fogg's hat factory.
Apple Street would certainly be the longest street, if it was an actual street and not the name of a country lane.
But otherwise Great Norbury Street would have to be a contender, or Market Street. Or what about Victoria Street? That is if Newton counts.
You really can't call Apple Street a street in the true sense, it is just a country lane. Croft Street and Great Norbury are a very long streets but I think George Street just wins out.
hello Tom! Nice to hear from you - hope all is well. I see that you are doing a terrific job with the history of Hyde. Local history is both interesting and very valuable, We all need to know our own background.
there was a hungarian restaurant just opposite to the brunswick pub on george it was probably hyde's first foreign restaurant cheers brian o' reilly
