Weekend Reflections:
The back of St Thomas the Apostle

I first showed you the back of St Thomas Apostle church in February 2007 which is a bit of a dull day.

Now on a bright Autumn day and from a slightly different angle you can see the reflections in the rear window of the church.

For more weekend reflections visit Newtown Area Photo.

Hyde Cemetery Chapel 2010

The chapel in Hyde Cemetery lies just North of the Beeley Tomb.

Some old Ordnance Survey maps appear to show three chapels inside the cemetery but I've only ever been aware of the one.

Compared with the photograph I took ten years ago which you can view on Old Hyde. The roof and drains appear to have received attention and the doors have been strengthened and double-padlocked.

Shadow Shot Sunday:
Kensington Gardens

Last weekend I brought you shadows from inside Hyde Cemetery.

This time we are outside the cemetery by Kensington Gardens and Stockport Road. Now there is a single tree on the corner. There used to be three trees in a row. Once I caught the reflection of one in a puddle.

A recent addition to the corner is a GATSO aka speed camera. I assume it is a replacement for the one that used to be higher up Stockport Road on the B6458. That would have gone after the bus stops were closed to allow the installation of a new zebra crossing.

The coloured version of this photograph can be found on Geograph.

For more shadow shots, visit Hey Harriet.

Shadows in Hyde Cemetery

This part of Hyde Cemetery towards the North end seems fairly empty with what appears to be two old gravestones and three relatively recent burials at this end.

Some new graves appear to be being prepared at the far end.

Do be sure to click on the photograph and enlarge it to fully appreciate the shadows being cast here.

For more shadow shots visit Hey Harriet.

The Beeley Tomb in Hyde Cemetery

Shane Sawyer who now lives in Australia recently sent me an old photograph of the Beeley Tomb which can be seen on Old Hyde.

I found the tomb in Hyde Cemetery. It sits alone from the rest of the graves just North of the chapel.

The railings are now covered in vegetation precluding any view beyond.

Additional photographs can be found on Hyde DP Xtra.

Shadow Shot Sunday:
St George's Burial Ground

The burial ground at the side of St George's church was full of shadows the day I took this photograph.

It looks as if some of the gravestones are falling down into the valley of Gower Hey Brook as you can see on Hyde DP Xtra.

For more shadow shots visit Hey Harriet.

View from Mottram Church

The view from the burial ground of St Michael and All Angels church at Mottram in Longdendale.

These Pennine hills stretch from Cheshire into Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

Icy Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill in the treacherous ice of a few weeks ago.

Compare it, if you will, with the same scene from October 2006.

Cemetery in the Snow

I didn't post any pictures of the snow when we were gripped by it for a few days earlier in the month.

I did take a few photographs at the time though and this one shows the entrance to Hyde Cemetery from Back Bower Lane.

I showed you the frosty view in January.

Gravestones and Industry

Last week I showed you the Southern aspect of Newton St Mary's.

I posed the question - why won't I be showing you the Eastern aspect?

Some of you knew; some of you guessed; some of you possibly had a look on google earth. As you can see here, beyond the gravestones, there is an industrial estate behind the church.

Graveyard at Hollingworth

As I was wandering around Hollingworth earlier this year I came upon this graveyard.

It appears to be well tended but is not attached to any church so far as I can tell.

Newton St Mary's West

St Mary's Church, Newton.

This is the Western aspect taken from within the graveyard.

Cemetery Garden

Just past the entrance to Hyde Cemetery is a little garden of remembrance.

Scattering of cremated remains here costs £50; supplying and fixing a brass memorial plaque is £135 with a £55 fee for renewal every ten years.

Old Tombstone Marker

This large tombstone in the graveyard of Hyde Chapel predates the current building, built in 1846.

It is present in a picture of the 1767 chapel. Its position and that of the tree is what enables historians to map out the whereabouts of the previous building.

Holy Trinity Graveyard Again

I have shown you Holy Trinity Graveyard before, but that was just a mere glimpse from Higham Lane.

This is a view of a larger area at the back of the church.

Behind the graveyard you will find some Xercise poles.

Potter Gravestone

Here in the grounds of Hyde Chapel lie the parents and grandparents of Beatrix Potter.

See Old Hyde for a better view of the inscription.

Photo of the Year 2007

This view of the rear of St Thomas the Apostle on Lumn Road was taken from Tinkers Passage. I posted a view of the front of the church on May 30th 2007 and in June a close-up of the bell tower.

Visitors to this blog were asked to vote for their favourite photos from twelve contenders. St Thomas the Apostle beat Captain Clarke Bridge by 157 votes to 152. The runner-up can be seen on Ackworth born, gone West together with full details of the voting and comments on the twelve contenders. All 12 photographs can be viewed at Best of Hyde Daily Photo 2007.

This month I am not attempting to create a list of permalinks to participating blogs. Instead I have compiled a list of those blogs that registered on the CDPB forum to run with the theme. They are listed in chronological order with links to their earliest relevant archived post. This may not be the actual start date of the blog. I won't be adding blogs who didn't register for the theme, or who registered at the last minute. The information regarding authors and start dates is taken from Around The World with Daily Photoblogs Old and New.
