Reflecting on Automasters


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.

L is for Lovers Alley


This photograph from about the 1920s shows a place somewhere in the Kingston area, but exactly where, I'm not sure.
