Newton Bank Printworks


I recently posted here a picture of the Damage at James North Works caused by the flash flood which hit Hyde in May 1906.

A violent thunderstorm struck on May 8th and five inches of rain fell in five hours. Here we see the destruction caused around Newton Bank Printworks.

My other ABC Wednesday N posts this week are ~~ Newton Hall from the Rear at Hyde Daily Photo ~~ No Smoking at Ackworth born, gone West ~~ No Through Road at Sithenah

To visit more ABC-Wednesday posts go to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place.
