Broomstair Bridge Boundary Signs

The river Tame forms the boundary between Cheshire and Lancashire and the division is clearly carved on the parapet stones of Broomstair Bridge.

The word "Township" is clearly made out but the names of the townships of Hyde and Denton are hardly discernible. Whether simply worn down or filled in I wouldn't know.

Free fish spa

The hair salon on Dowson Road was offering a free fish spa with all hair services recently.

Garra rufa fish exfoliation was all the rage a few years ago but I suspect its popularity must have waned a bit.

ABC Wednesday: H is for Hydroponics on Hamnett Street

At the turn of the century, 3 Hamnett Street (which seems to have acquired an extra terminal "t" over the years) was Fowden's Undertakers.

Although still listed as such in many online directories, it hasn't been an undertakers for some years and is now the home of a hydroponics business. The adjoining premises at #5 are Janet Dale's Beauty Salon and has been for around 20 years.

The premises on the left hand side may originally have been also part of the funeral business - see Hyde DP Xtra.

Car Park to Go

The multi-storey car park is over fifty years old and due to be demolished soon. Its demise had been rumoured when I posted a photograph from the other side in March 2013.

For many years car parking in the upper levels had been free - see my post on Hyde DP Xtra in April 2011.

Unsurprisingly by December 2011 hardly anyone was using the upper levels.

A new branch of KFC is expected to take its place!

Busker outside Lloyds TSB

Lloyds TSB has had a makeover recently and the wall now just has a couple of posters on it. On Saturday a busker playing the flute was outside as people hurried into Clarendon Mall.

Pink flowers for sale on Hyde Market

These pink flowers which were on sale last week are Achillea millefolium, and are apparently attractive to butterflies.
