A look at the past !

Below are a few snippets from a copy of the Ashton Brothers Magazine dated December 1920.

Many Thanks to John Hopwood for the loan of the magazine !!

St George's Parish Magazine

A good friend of ours ,John Hopwood, a regular contributer to this site, has lent us a magazine which I've scanned to show you a slice of Hyde life from the 1920's. Just showing the front cover today - look out for adverts and articles in the future. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. :)


St George's Parish Church magazine Feb.1927
Note one of the church wardens lived on Swain Street - now Dowson Road!

The map above shows the Swain Street turned into an old footpath which skirted the hollow.
