Late Autumn Signal

Remember the old signal on the Trans Pennine Trail almost covered by trees back in June.

Here it is again. You might also make it out in my recent post Sunset on the Trail.

Dale Grove School

Dale Grove School is on Grange Road South.

When I knew this school well it was Oakdale, a special school for children with learning disabilities. My son Craig went there for several years and the teachers did a wonderful job.

Oakdale is now part of a larger school complex in Dukinfield.

Inside Hibberts Family Butchers

Hibberts Family Butchers have been trading in Hyde for over 30 years.

They used to operate inside the Clarendon Shopping Centre Market where today you will find the tripe stall of Jack Curvis, Susie's Deli and Kelly's authentic Indian cuisine.

Three years ago they moved into a shop on Clarendon Place under a taxi-cab office. You can see the shop itself on Hyde DP Xtra.

Footpath to Hyde North

This is the footpath leading from Rutland Street to Hyde North station.

The station is on the left. The tracks on the right don't go through Hyde North. They belong to the electrified line from Glossop via Flowery Field to Manchester Piccadilly which joins the line from Rose Hill just North of Hyde North station.

Leaving Hyde North

Saturday's train to Rose Hill leaving Hyde North station.

In the background is St Stephen's Church.

Exit from Hyde North station is via the cross-platform bridge and down to Junction Road.

A footpath on the left leads to new houses on Rutland Street.

Hyde Junction

We got off yesterday's train to Rose Hill at Hyde North.

Looking North from the end of the platform you can see the electrified tracks on the right. These bypass Hyde North station going on to Flowery Field, Godley, Hattersley, Broadbottom and Dinting to Glossop.

A short branch goes from Dinting to Hadfield. Once the line continued beyond Hadfield via the Woodhead tunnel to Sheffield.
