Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
I came across this Photographic Postcard on Ebay last week.. not a picture I've seen before. Shows what a hundred years can do to people's attitude. Church going is not as important to a person or a community as it once was. There must be many congregations in Hyde that could not muster 50 people in the congregation, never mind attached to the choir. St Mary's is still going where others have closed and gone for good, St Stephen's on Bennett St is awaiting demolition and it's sad to see the vandalism that has occurred.. and which is still going on.
I look at the chaps on this picture below and wonder how many were lost to the WW I and WW II. If you have information about anyone on this image that looks back in our towns history please let me know and if you'd like I will add it here so all can see.
