John Grundy House


These hi-rise apartments above the Clarendon Shopping Centre are named after John Grundy a former mayor of Hyde.

The block is one of two such built in Hyde, I think, in the late 1950s or early 60s. The other is Chartist House which can be seen on Hyde DP Xtra.

The multi-storey car park on the left is due to be demolished and replaced by a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet.

    Tall buildings are a natural for this particular theme.

    It's definitely a good angle for the shot.

    I can't recall the last time I went in a KFC...
