Cemetery Postcard

Here's an old postcard of the Cemetery gates. Unfortunately there is no date on it.
Probably taken not long after the cemetery opened in 1894




A recent view taken from a similar angle courtesy of google maps.
Not changed a great deal really !

From this angle the spire on the chapel can be made out. 

Hyde Cemetery Chapel.

I heard that Tameside Council are going to demolish this beautiful building shortly - hope I heard wrong. It's the last of three churches that used to stand within the cemetery grounds. The top one was originally the Church of England building. the middle one (and last remaining) is the non conformist chapel and the bottom one was the Roman Catholic building.I'm not sure when the other two building were demolished but the following aerial map from the 1970's still shows them standing.
