Zig-zagging around the Indoor Market

Hyde Indoor Market is accessed from the Clarendon Square Shopping Centre. Opposite the tripe stall "Let's Talk Tripe" one ramp zigs up to the first floor where various stalls including Wilde's greengrocery can be found. Another ramp zags down to the basement where more stalls can be found.

From books to pills and potions

This building used to be Newton Library - it closed in October 2012 - see Hyde DP Xtra for a pre-closure view.

Now it has been converted into a pharmacy so at least it is still providing some kind of local service.

See our post of 18th December 2014 for the latest on the state of the main library in Hyde.

A Yellow New Year

It was raining in the afternoon on New Year's Day. Across Dowson Road at the Shell filling station, petrol and diesel were 3 pence per litre cheaper than a week ago on Christmas Day.

Hyde Chapel Spire Base

One of the first photos I took using the 60x zoom on my new camera was of Hyde Chapel's spire.

It is difficult to get a perfectly clear shot at that length but with a bit of post-processing I finally came up with this image.

You can view the whole spire in this post from June 2013 and the whole chapel in this post from April 2009.

The history of Hyde Chapel goes back to before 1708, when the congregation built the first Christian place of worship in Hyde. A new church replaced the former building in 1846. This second chapel is still in use today, its high steeple, a noted landmark, is also a Grade II, listed building. More information on the church website.

Another reflection in a puddle on the Trans Pennine Trail

There is nearly always a large puddle by the Dowson Road bridge on the former Godley Junction to Apethorn railway line now used by the Trans Pennine Trail and National Cycle Network Route #62.

It isn't the first time I've photographed it but usually I do so from the opposite direction. This was taken a couple of weeks ago from just under the bridge looking towards Swains Valley.

Xmas Eve Sundown

As the sun was going down on Christmas Eve afternoon it was still bright enough to line the clouds with silver.
