Old Hyde
Pole Bank 1910 ----------------------------------------------------------Town Hall 1937 --------------------------------------------- Cenotaph 1990
The building is very impressive Gerald, as was the old school building before it was pulled down and modernised. I remember walking past the church yard most day going to Secondary School, even in the 1970s the grave yard was in a mess. I went there resently and came away feeling sad by the damage and the way parts had been left to go to ruin. I think this church more than any others shows how Hyde as changed this last few years. The area that it is in is mostly a Muslim area now.

Not very colourful but I like the chalice that's added!
