It surprises me at times just what can be bought on E-bay, all 3 of these are on sale at the moment, all 3 are pages from magazines and as I've watched them before they will sell for a pound or two.  

Greenfield Street Mural for sale.

Here is an unusual item that is for sale on ebay at present.
It's a mural which I can only assume was hung in Greenfield Street Secondary School.
It's a bit pricey for me but a one-off nontheless.

Wasn't DJ Robinson one of the teachers at Greenfield Street?

Hyde "Old" Supermarket

Below is an advert for the old supermarket on Clarendon Street showing  the range of goods and services that were available circa 1976.

 

When I was young I used to love going in there with my Mum and Nan on a Saturday afternoon and  buying chocolate biscuits which were all sold loose by the pound . As I got older I liked to peruse Hubbles record shop on the first floor. My Mum used to spend a lot of time on the haberdashery stall at the top of the stairs which always left me free to roam the entire shop floor with my sister. I never went in the Bingo area though - that was out of bounds.
Happy days !!

Thanks to John Hopwood for the photo :)

Adverts from another era

Further to the cast iron crane plaque shown on the blog the other day, here are two adverts for Adamsons, one showing the type of work they did.

The firm of Joseph Adamson was established in 1874 by Joseph Adamson in partnership with Harry Booth, who retired in 1887. Adamson's two sons were then taken into partnership in 1902. The business was carried on by the sons after Adamson's death in 1920 until 1925, when the partnership was dissolved leaving the eldest son, Daniel, as sole proprietor of the business, assisted by his two sons, G.H.Adamson and J.Adamson

 

Thanks to Jeffrey Stafford for the information.

Thanks to Elsie Dee for the adverts.

Sent to us by Marjorie Robinson.
Many Thanks, Marjorie!

The Village Squash Club

Here is an advert for the opening of the Village Squash Club on Captain Clarke Road. Unfortunately I don't know what year this was.  
The Village is still going strong. Although it is now known as De Vere Village Hotel Manchester Hyde most people still refer to it as "The Village".

Advertisements from around 1895

Another selection of adverts, this time from around 1895. Although well over a hundred years ago, the printers of the time seemed to have very large and unusual set of fonts. I wouldn't mind trying some of the "Quinine & Iron tonic" from Frank Rideals chemist or Lillian Blackburn's "Anti-Rheumatic Flannel"

Adverts in the Reporter. 1977

Whitby return for only £3.05! It would be about £30 now.


Two scary films for the price of one !
July 1977

The Savage Bees
In this horror-drama the festive fun of the annual Mardi Gras celebration is brought to a halt when a swarm of African killer bees escape from a foreign freighter.

The Incredible Melting Man
An astronaut is transformed into a murderous gelatinous mass after returning from an ill-fated space voyage.

Sound really scary !! ha ha !


The shop is still there but I believe the owner has now retired.

Co-op Advert.

This is an advert from the North Cheshire Herald aka The Reporter dated October 1958.



What a shame that you can't get clothes at this price now!

Thanks to Helen Hodkinson for use of this advert..
