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.
This photograph first appeared here in August 2007.
It shows Hoviley Brow, near the Dye Works which is now home to ABC Wax.
The houses were demolished by the 1970s and the ground covered by the M67 Motorway.
About the only thing still standing is the factory chimney. It would have been dirtier then and not carrying mobile-phone relay masts!
See how it looks now on Hyde Daily Photo.
