One of the great Hydonian characters, Harry Lever, used to work at Belle View in the 50s and often could be seen riding his bicycle around Hyde with a colourful parrot on the handlebars or his shoulder. There is a photograph of this in one of Barbara Coles books on Hyde. He was also known to have walked around Hyde with a Cheetah on a lead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-26566422451526599372012-04-13T13:25:29.703+01:002012-04-13T13:25:29.703+01:00I completely agree.
