The name "HYDE" is derived from the hide, a measure of land for taxation purposes, taken to be that area of land necessary to support a peasant family. In later times it was taken to be equivalent to 120 acres .

Pub outings...
This photograph shows a ladies outing from the Oddfellows.
Unfortunately, I have no date or knowledge of where they are.
If anyone has any photographs of the Oddfellows, please get in touch with us as we'd like to do a post on it. Thank you :)
If you have any pictures, stories, memories, or items from or about Hyde and you would like to share them here with other like minded Hydonians please get in touch with us. Either leave us a comment or even better email us:
Tom, Dave, Paul and I would like to say thank you to everyone for contributing to this blog in some small way - even if that means just reading it! It's been more of a success than we could ever have dreamt of and that's all down to you ! It was our intention to get Hyde "on the record" as it were and it seems to be heading in the right direction. We are very proud of Hyde and would like it's history to live on!

I'm sure I've spotted my granny 'Wig' on this... I might be wrong though as she's smiling... not something my granny was know for... ha!
My Nan is on there too,Tom. Maybe they were friends?
