Hyde Grammar School Football Team 1946


Hyde Grammar School Football Team 1946, filmed by George Wain.

Look out for future Manchester United and England star Warren Bradley, future PE master Fred Whyatt, and headmaster Dr Couzens.

  1. Stunning Gerald... as much for the views around that area as the football.. and the music reminded me of times long gone.

    Great posting.

  4. Thanks, Gerald. On second viewing, it's obviously the top field at the school. I was confused because in my day there were more trees obscuring the views of the hills and there weren't so many factory chimneys. The white building at the top of some shots is the Duke of Sussex pub at the junction of Victoria Street and Ashton Road.
