SJ9494 : A metal line across the market
taken 14 years ago, near to Hyde, Tameside, England
A metal line across the market
A look at some the work going on to renew Hyde Market. A very sturdy metal rail has been laid across one section of the market. Whether it is the base for something more substantial to be built upon it or something else I don't know. Meanwhile the carousel continues going round and round.
Cooke's Children's Carousel
The roundabout on Hyde Market was manufactured by Halsteads of Sowerby Bridge in 1897. It was established on Hyde Market in 1919 by John William (Jack) Greaves. In the 1920s he passed it to his daughter Lily and her husband Bill Cooke. It has now been in the Cooke family for three generations.
