In 1931 Hyde was celebrating fifty years of incorporation as a Borough. Children aged three to fifteen had been given a jubilee medal and some chocolate.
June 16th was declared Children's Day and some 4000 marched to the Town Hall to sing hymns and the National Anthem.
As can be seen by the plethora of umbrellas, it was not a sunny day.
I just love all of your old photos and the stories to go along with them.
