The house across the roundabout at the end of Talbot Road is called Chapel Hill Image and has a date stone reading 1912. It was formerly a Wesleyan Chapel. To the left on Matley Road are modern terraces dating (I think) from the 1970s or 1980s. To the right the cottages on Victoria street are probably late Victorian. Behind the bus stop is Bay Horse Image which is currently boarded up.

Name/date on Chapel Hill Image

The Bay Horse Image] closed down in 2011 and was then boarded up Image It was finally demolished in 2016 Image Building work started in early 2017 Image A Co-op superstore has now opened on the site. On this day it seems they were having some trouble with the drains.

Last section of the Bay Horse public house awaiting demolition, the Bay Horse was a well known land mark in the Newton area of Hyde and will hold fond memories of happy times for many local people.

The house across the roundabout at the end of Talbot Road Image is called Chapel Hill and has a date stone reading 1912 Image I was told by someone that it was formerly a Wesleyan Chapel but research has failed to confirm that. Old maps show a U.M. chapel (United Methodists?) on the site. According to Thomas Middleton - History of Hyde and its Neighbourhood - 1932 p388, "A Sunday School at Shaw Hall was commenced in 1861 by James Jackson and James Earnshaw, in a small cottage, and was first connected with no particular sect. The school grew in numbers, and in 1863 the conductors decided to connect it with the United Methodist Free Church at Daisyfield." He goes on to say that it was closed in 1910. Possibly the chapel was restored or rebuilt in 1912 as a domestic residence bearing this name.

At the roundabout with Talbot Road (left). The former Public House (The Bay Horse) is still boarded up.
