Frosty Bench

Although the sun is throwing shadows, the bench, in front of the market gardener's stall selling Christmas trees, is still covered in frost.

Broomstair Metal Co.

Signs at 328 Hyde Road, Denton just beyond the Cheshire/Lancashire border at Broomstairs Bridge.

Broomstair Metal Co. was set up in 1980 and dissolved in 1993.

[Update: The business actually began in the 1950s. When the founder died the company went to the eldest son who is now retiring. The grandson built the large building in the yard at the side of the river and has now moved to bigger purpose built premises.]

Todaysure Products who have subsequently occupied the premises appear to have relocated to Dunkirk Lane and the premises are back on the market.

Note how the area-code for Manchester phone numbers has changed from 061 to 0161 and how the newer signage includes the post code for the address.

Hyde Town Hall Clock Tower

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the clock faces on Hyde Town Hall being removed for cleaning.

The ones on the side have been replaced but now the hands on the front face have been removed for restoration.

No doubt they'll be back soon.
