I have enlarged it so it can be seen properly.
The fair was , I think, still being held on the spare ground near Mary Street and Newton Street when this was taken. This was where it was situated before the motorway cut Hyde in half and the fair was relocated to Park Road field near Hyde Park!

This was taken in the 1950s on the Market Square on Wakes Week
This shot taken from the balcony over the main entrance to the Town Hall clearly shows Hyde Market Ground, and the Fun Fair. This is more or less how I recalled it in the very early 1960s.
