A Tight Squeeze
This stile is called a "squeeze stile" as far as I can gather. Near Oaklands Drive, it allows walkers access to the footpath along the line of the old Godley to Apethorn railway, but restricts access for motorbikes and horses.

Where have the trains gone?
Looking East along the bridleway between Green Lane and Godley. It lies on the route of the former Godley to Apethorn railway. The trees on the right hand side are growing where the rail tracks once ran. On the right of them is a surfaced path for pedestrians.

The Side of Oaklands Hall
A side view of Oaklands Hall. A conservatory is being built on the other side of the hall.
Oaklands Hall was built in 1838 as a residence for local business men and was once occupied by Daniel Adamson – an engineer, involved with the digging and opening of the Manchester Ship Canal.
In 1881 it was occupied by Deane Stanley, who ran his father's Turkish Towel business in Gas Street, Hyde. He was married to Flora, who is believed to be their resident ghost. There are occasional sightings of Flora, when she is regarded as a being friendly and to be a good omen.
Deane Stanley was also a mining engineer. Unfortunately, he was reputed not to have a good head for business and he eventually lost his fortune. He died in 1894 after falling off a horse whilst working in the South African Transvaal.
Oaklands Hall was purchased in October 1924, for use as a Masonic Hall. The building is now run by Oaklands Masonic Club. It is now a place for Weddings and Celebration parties and is also an approved venue for Civil Marriages. Website: http://www.oaklandshall.co.uk/
