Hyde info
Hyde is a market town in Tameside,
part of Greater Manchester.
It was formerly in Cheshire.
Hyde's name derives from 'hide' - a measure of
land equivalent to 120 acres (0.5 km²).
With a population around 35,000 it was built
on the success of the cotton mills in the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The
Peak Forest Canal runs through Hyde; A branch
of the canal leading to Ashton, the other way
leads to Woodley, Romiley and Marple. At the end
of Woodend Lane one can see Captain Clarks Bridge,
commemorating Cpt Clark. Originally there were
40 working mills. By 1872 only 27 remained - of
these half closed from 1921-1939. There is one
working mill in the town today. Hyde Town Hall
dominates the market place area. The large bell
in the clocktower is known as Oud Josh, named
after Joshua Bradley, a former Mayor of Hyde who
had risen up from a poor child worker in the mills.
It has the ring of big ben.
There were many mill-owning families including
the Sidebotham, Hibbert and Horsefield families.
However, the major employers in mills were the
Ashton family, who did both spinning and weaving,
a successful practice when most mills concentrated
on one process. This is the one working mill still
surviving today.
About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
