New houses are nearing completion on land off King Edward Avenue that was formerly a quarry. At one time it was the site of Whittaker's Whim, a 5 storey building built against the wall with 3 storeys below Stockport Road, and the top two storeys fronting onto Stockport Road. It was replaced by the original 2-storey stone-built factory used by G B Moores for the dressing of chamois leather and was known as "Glen Chamois". More information can be found on Old Hyde: http://oldhyde.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/whittikers-whim.html New houses were built along the entrance to the land in 2009 Image In 2017 the retaining wall backing onto Stockport Road was strengthened Image and construction of more house on the land then commenced.
