This rare book of how Hyde was affected by the start of 'The Great War' can be read in the Library at Hyde. Very few copies have turned up and I am sure this is the first time it can be viewed in its entirety on the internet. As far as can be gleaned Part 2 was never sent to print. Tom Wigley June 1st 2014

Hi Tom, I'm currently writing a history of Newton Mill / Newtonhurst Cricket Club which I'm hoping to get published next year. Sadly, it will be a complete history, since the club folded at the start of this year. The club started out as the works team for Messrs Jacobsen, Welch, & Co. Ltd., i.e. the staff of Newton Mill. You have a great picture of Stanley Welch and his wife which I'd like to use in the book please, if I may? Naturally, I will credit this website in the book. Kind regards, Pete Simpson
