Another look through the fence at Carrfield

Back in February I stuck my camera through the gate and pointed it at right angles at the last remnants of the Christy Outlet Shop at Carrfield Mill before it was finally demolished.

Earlier this week I took this follow-up photograph. Whilst an office building still awaits final demolition, most of the site has been cleared as you can see more plainly on Hyde DP Xtra.

Low bridge sign

Last Friday I posted a view of Dukinfield Road.

Here today is a closer view of the low bridge warning sign. The bridge in question is the one by Hyde North Station which you can see in an old post from May 2008.

In the background, between the sign and the belisha beacon, is the sign for the Village Hotel.

ABC Wednesday: V is for Village Hotel

Tucked away off Dukinfield Road near Hyde North station is the Village Hotel, now part of the DeVere group.

Plain Pitt Street

Plain Pitt Street lies off Dukinfield Road and whenever I pass by I can't help but wonder where Fancy Pitt Street might be.

Taking a look at the tree behind the fence though, I'm thinking there's maybe someone who does know.

A Special School No More

There used to a primary school here for pupils with special needs. Originally it was called Werneth Grange and then Oakdale School. It later became Dale Grove School and more recently Thomas Ashton School.

It has now been demolished and the buttercups are taking over.

Another photograph is on Hyde DP Xtra.

Shadows by Dowson Road

This was taken a couple of weeks ago and since then there are many more leaves on the trees.

Compare how it looked in the January snow when petrol was 2 pence per litre cheaper but diesel 2 pence dearer, and again with how it looked on New Year's Day.

The Weekend in Black and White: Hyde Chapel Spire and Werneth Low

This half-tone image is looking towards the western flank of Werneth Low (about 2km distance) and the spire of Hyde Chapel (about 1km distance).

The original photograph was taken about three weeks ago at the same time as the one of Kite flying on Werneth Low. The right hand edge of that more or less aligns with the left hand edge here.

I took a similar view to this in June 2012 when cows were grazing and storm clouds were brewing.
