About a hundred years ago there was no Woolworths in Hyde Market Place. Instead there was Brownson's Clothiers.
I don't know when Woolworths moved in but now it seems they may well be on their way out.
About Me
- Gerald (Hyde DP)
- I have two main blogger profiles and might use either when commenting at other blogs. This is not meant to confuse. My main personal blog is Ackworth born, gone West, an eclectic mix of photography, poetry, reviews and other matters. My other main blog is Hyde Daily Photo which is specifically related to Hyde in Cheshire/Greater Manchester. I have another photoblog: Sithenah on the aminus3 plaform. I am also in the process of publishing my Collected Poetical Works. Other blogs listed in this profile are ones that I contribute to either regularly or irregularly or are ones created for specific purposes.

woolworths gave up in the ghost in the US years ago. This is a wonderfully grand building .
A great Victorian building. Shame the dome isn't there anymore.
Wow Gerald,
Just exploring all your blogs, I really love this pretty shots!
Merry christmas wishes

Great blog, just found you.
I have always liked Woolwoths distinctive building but I have to admit this one was finer.
So what is taking it's place? Don't tell me a big box WallyMart on the outskirts?
Gerald wonderful pictures. Thanks.
Mum who is now 89 and still as feisty as ever loves looking at the shots. She worked at Woolworths in Hyde in 1936 and again after the war for a short period.
I worked at "cable shoes" right opposite from leaving school at age 14 in 1960 to 1964.
Keep up the good work.
