Hyde Pubs 1975 (34)

This is a photograph taken 7 or 8 years ago.....

.....in July 2013 it was boarded up, had a 'For Sale' sign on, and had apparently been renamed "Ri g o' ells".....

.....but a month ago no sign that it had ever been a pub.

Ring O' Bells

Here are two pictures of the Ring O' Bells pub, past and present.

The first shot is around 1910, the second, 2012.

Another sad day !

Below is the latest Hyde pub casualty.
Sadly, the Ring 'o' Bells on Stockport Road has pulled its last pint.
There will be no pubs left in Hyde at this rate !

Postcard from quieter times.

Here is a postcard sent to us by Elsie D.

It shows where Market Street meets Stockport Road. The Ring 'o' Bells pub is on the left and the old Zion chapel in the mist on the middle right.
Four out of the Five shops shown are still with us in some shape or form !

Note the distinct lack of vehicles on the road !!
