Next to the Curiosity Shop on Commercial Brow at the corner with Clarendon Road is a George V postbox which may be one of the oldest postboxes in Hyde. I've been informed that the shop used to be an off-licence with a post office next door, hence the reason the post box is there. As the photo shows the post office has now been converted into a house. On the other side of the post office was a greengrocers.
