A newsagents, a barbers and Homefair Blinds.

A diverse group of shops on Clarendon Street. Creeping in on the left is "Headzaklys", one of Hyde's numerous Gent's Hairdresser's. Next is "Homefair Blinds". "The Lingerie and Fancy Dress Shop" used to be called lingerie bliss Image and before that it was Frilly Milly's. http://hydedailyphoto.blogspot.co.uk/2007/02/frilly-millys.html Currently it has a Halloween display in its window. "Bosuns Fish Restaurant and Take Away" looks much the same as it did in 2006 Image although I understand there has been a change of ownership since then. Above "Bosuns" is a "Tanning Studio".

Snow cleared from the road has been piled up on the edge of the pavement, obliterating in some parts the double yellow-lines.

I thought there was some work going on when I saw the cherry-picker-crane (actually a JLG lift) on Hamnett Street but in fact it was merely parked in the space between the hydroponics shop and the Job Centre. On the opposite side of the road is the Postal Sorting Office.

Royal Mail Sorting Office on Hamnett Street.

Hamnett Street seems to have acquired an extra terminal "t" over the years. At the turn of the 20th century "3 Hamnet Street", on the right, was Fowden's Undertakers. http://oldhyde.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/j-t-fowden-undertakers-on-hamnet-street.html Although still listed as such in many online directories, it hasn't been an undertakers for some years and is now the home of a hydroponics business. On the left and set back from the street are properties 1 and 3a Hamnett Street. My understanding (although I've lost the source of my information) is that this building was originally part of the funeral business but 3a is now an office of charted architects Davenport and Flinn http://www.davenportandflinn.co.uk/ a business started by Peter Davenport in 1960, established as a partnership with John Flinn in 1975 who now runs the business solely after the former partner retired in 1989.
