Date stone for Bertram Terrace on Syddall Street.

Road markings on Dowson Road

Following the recent re-surfacing of Dowson Road the road markings have now been repainted. Compare this with the view before re-surfacing.


At the other end of the resurfaced section there are also double-yellow lines indicating no parking.

Another photo of the road markings can be found on Hyde Daily Photo.

Queueing for The Theatre Royal

There was alas no getting in to the Theatre Royal last weekend on the Heritage Open Day. However this brief video shows what did go on.



My photographs of the theatre from previous open days can be seen at Theatre Royal Hyde and information about the efforts being made to preserve and re-open the theatre can be found on the website of the Theatre Royal Onward Trust.

I won't be around for a little while as I'm off into a different theatre shortly at Stepping Hill.

The Sportsman

At the end of the row of terraced properties on Mottram Road, past the hairdressers and next door to the monumental mason is the Sportsman. It is a real ale pub serving the products of the Rossendale Brewery. It now also includes a Cuban restaurant.

See the sign for the Sportsman on Hyde Daily Photo.

Dowson Road Bridge with puddle

Last week's contribution to Sunday Bridges at San Francisco Bay Daily Photo was of Dowson Road bridge over the Trans Pennine Trail.

This is the view from the opposite direction. For a view of the reflection of the bridge in the puddle see Hyde Daily Photo.

Wet Saturday on Hyde Market

A view of Hyde Market the other Saturday when the rains came down and sent everyone except the stall holders heading towards Clarendon Mall.
