These are not as old as they look really.. ...Hi Ian<br />These are not as old as they look really.. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it must be after 1910 <br />The main clue here is the Electric tram coming up the road... acording to GMT musuem it was 1901 when Manchester Tramways started to use Electric, 1904 was when SHMD started their joint Tramway and Electic Board... Manchester did not start using a numbered service on their tram until 1913... but that dose not mean SHMD did not already have numbered trams.. <br /><br />You have started me off now thinking of a 'Time Line' post for Hyde... but that will have to be something for the future.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-4832066984354564302010-07-09T22:59:18.081+01:002010-07-09T22:59:18.081+01:00The funny thing with this pic is that if it wasn&#...The funny thing with this pic is that if it wasn't for the statue, it would be unrecognisable today.<br /><br />How old is the the early photo?Isla...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09569097700652272494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-60753853484561367092010-07-08T06:42:54.735+01:002010-07-08T06:42:54.735+01:00I love this view Nancy... as you know I've oft...I love this view Nancy... as you know I've often admired the statue.... I am well impressed you noticed it in the first place... The building where Barcley's is now look fantastic, what a shame that style was not kept. I really must get down to Hyde early and takke pictures of all Market Street and see what is what... <br />Excellent find Nancy..Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-19206782493136854382010-07-07T23:17:03.838+01:002010-07-07T23:17:03.838+01:00The bank façade has changed somewhat - of course i...The bank façade has changed somewhat - of course it was Martins before it was Barclays - maybe it was something else before it was MartinsGerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.com
