Automasters Engineers were once one of the biggest employers in Hyde, but their huge factory on the side of the Peak Forest Canal has now been reduced to a pile of rubble.
I took this photograph from a bus passing the main entrance on Manchester Road in April 2008. Due to the reflections from the bus window, it isn't an especially good view so I never used the photograph at the time. There is no chance to take a better picture now, so here it is anyway.
sometimes I think everything architecturally worthwhile in our major cities is being reduced to rubble
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, about a million years ago, for some obscure reason my friends and I frequented the canal and bridge opposite Automasters at school lunch time.
ReplyDeleteI always remember the shiny glass offices at the front on Manchester Road.
Thanks for the memories!
