SJ9494 : Cooke's Traditional Roundabout
taken 14 years ago, near to Hyde, Tameside, England
Cooke's Traditional Roundabout
"Have a long and safe ride on Cooke's traditional roundabout" it reads on the bottom. Behind it is parked a JCB being used in the renewal of Hyde Market. In the background are the stalls on the southern half of the market ground. The renewal is being done in two phases so there will always be half the market still trading. The carousel is going nowhere except 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.
