The front of this Whit Friday programme from 1927 shows how St George's churchyard use to look before the railings around several graves were removed.
See how it looks from a similar viewpoint now on Hyde Daily Photo.
Details of the early history of St George's can be found at The Annals of Hyde: St George's Church
A contribution to Inspired Sundays.
The trees have really filled in on the recent shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference the years make. I am so glad I went back and looked at your shot of the church. I just love this bulletin. What a treasure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure to see this old programme, and in such good condition for its age!
