Hyde, Greater Manchester history
Early history
Newton Hall was present in the thirteenth century. The area formed a township of the parish of St Mary, Stockport. In the late 18th century the area that was to become the town centre was no more than a cluster of houses.
Industrial Revolution
The population of Hyde increased due to the success of the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At one stage there were 40 working mills, by 1872 only 27 remained. Half of the remaining mills closed between 1921 and 1939 and there is only one working mill in the town today. St George’s Church was built in 1832 as a chapel of ease to St Mary’s, Stockport.
20th century
During the 1960s, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady were arrested in their home on the Hattersley estate in Hyde after police found the body of 17-year-old Edward Evans in the house. At their trial they were found guilty of murdering Evans as well as two other children whose bodies were found buried on Saddleworth Moor several miles away. Britain’s most prolific serial killer, Dr Harold Shipman, had his doctor’s surgery in Hyde.
21st century
Dale Cregan made a hoax emergency call to the police from an address in Mottram in Longdendale, luring Police Constables Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, of Greater Manchester Police there by claiming there had been an incident of criminal damage. When they arrived, he murdered them.
