Missing Pictures.

A site hosting some of our pictures as started charging to host our pictures and allow them to be linked to. Instead of paying more for this privilege I will be moving all the effected pictures post by post to somewhere else. This will be on going until the job is done but will take some time.
    

WE ARE NOW ON FACEBOOK

It can be a feeder of information, pictures and articles.
Request can be made directly to all the group members.
A list of recommended local businesses can be made.
The town's History can be celebrated and be made available to all.
Hydonians from all corners of the earth can get news on what's is happening now.

I am hoping that normal service and daily posting will be back in the next few days. This last week has been extremely difficult for me to devote my time here. Thank you for your patience.

"Ten Pound Pom"

I saw this in the Advertiser this week and thought I'd give it some publicity.

I hope he gets some replies. :-)

Gee Cross Fete 2013

Local Notice !

 

 

Hi all,

You will see from the attached that I am hoping to arrange a table top sale, on the Hyde Civic Square in late June.  The poster dose not say that there are a further 8 stales available to local groups, such as Morris dancers, etc, which will be free to the organisation, in exchange for a display or similar, which could be classed as entertainment for visitors.   Any one interested in any of the 48 stalls should contact me as soon as possible.   Could you assist by letting others know?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Neil Openshaw,

Cashbox Credit Union,

Hyde Town Team,

Hyde Business Forum.

Thank You :)

Yesterday saw the views of the Blog go past the 500,000 Mark !!

Many thanks to our readers for making this possible and here's to the next 500,000!

 

UNION STREET - AN APPEAL FOR INFORMATION.

Next year Union Street Congregation Church (now the United Church) will be celebrating its 200th anniversary following its founding in 1814.

The Church is planning to celebrate this important event and would be grateful to know if any of the readers of the Hydoneon Blogspot have any memories, information, photographs, documents, memorabilia etc relating to the history of the Church.

Old family albums may contain photographs of weddings that took place at the Church.  There may be old pictures of Whit Walks in years gone by.  Some readers may have old pantomime programmes or details about social and religious activities.  Or they may just have memories and anecdotes about past events that took place at the Church.

If anyone has pictures and records of the Union Street Football Club, founded by the Church's youth club in 1956 and which went on to become one of Hyde's most successful amateur clubs during the sixties and seventies, those too would be most valuable.

Although there are a few postings about the Church on the site, any additional help, information or artifacts would be gratefully accepted.

If you contact the site, we will ensure that all relevant offers of help and information are passed on to the organisers.

Happy 2013 Everyone !

 Wishing all our readers, old and new, 

A Very Happy, Peaceful & Prosperous New Year!

Thanks for all your support throughout the year !

PLEASE NOTE.

Over the past week or so we have been receiving some unwarranted and unwelcomed comments, some of them of a racist tone.

Whilst we appreciate the value of free speech, we have decided that any comments that overstep the mark are to be deleted immediately.

We can't understand why anyone would want to spoil what we set out to do which is to post about the town we love.
