Moorfield Place under Construction

I took this photograph a few weeks ago from the Peak Forest Canal towpath of the homes being built on the former Automasters site.

I now understand the estate is to be called Moorfield Place.

There is another view of the site on Hyde Daily Photo.

Horses & Cyclists

Horses and cyclists have seperate tracks along this section of the Trans Pennine Trail.

This was taken last Saturday as was the view in the opposite direction which can be seen on Hyde Daily Photo.

See how it looked earlier in July 2008 and in July 2006

At the Corner of the Dell

Last week I showed you the stream running through the wooded dell in Hyde Park.

Following it along you come to a corner of the park with felled logs by a stone crossing. The logs have been there so long there is moss and fungi growing on them.

You can see a close-up on sithenah and the brook below this bridge on Hyde Daily Photo.

And a stream runs through it

The South-East corner of Hyde Park consists of a wild wooded area with a brook flowing through it. Here we are looking upstream.

It is crossed just a little further downstream by a moss-covered bridge which you can see on Hyde Daily Photo.

The area downstream of the bridge can be seen on my photoblog sithenah.

A Sign for Horseriders

Back in July I showed you the nettles obscuring the sign for horseriders on the TransPennine Trail approaching Knott Fold Bridge.

Well I was back down there a few weeks ago and the nettles have been cleared.

Nearby, meanwhile, one of the old signal posts left over from the days when this was a busy freight railway line, has been attacked by bindweed as you can see on Hyde Daily Photo.

Behind the Quarry Wall

In a post of July 2006 I showed you the back of The Werneth Hotel from the top of Treacle Brow.

In July 2008 I showed you the construction work proceeding over the road on King Edward Avenue and then in April 2009 the new houses completed.

Today's photograph is looking in the opposite direction from King Edward Avenue showing the quarry wall with the Werneth Hotel on Stockport Road behind it.

To the left is Treacle Brow; the buildings in the background are on Mottram Old Road.

See a view of the new estate from King Edward Avenue on Hyde Daily Photo and a century old view on Old Hyde.

Approach from Stockport

This is the approach along the A560 from Stockport and Woodley towards Hyde.

Just round the bend on the right is the newest pub in the area, the Joshua Bradley whilst on the left are the grounds of Pole Bank Hall.

There is a closer view of the boundary sign on Hyde Daily Photo.
