Hyde Road Stadium

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Is a great website which lists different maps of Manchester from as far back as 1772 to current day. Can be overlaid or stacked side by side

www.manchester.publicprofiler.org

Can you check that link? Doesn't work for me

If you’re after a descent historical map showing the layout around the Hyde Road Stadium, you can't go far wrong with the maps from National Library Of Scotland.

Just click on the link

That's more than "decent", amazing resource. How to get lost in old maps for the next few hours

You can lose a couple of hours or so doing a little time travelling

Same here. I just spent an hour finding out more about Hanging Ditch and the lost Dene.

That'll be Chester's not Manchester's – they were based in Ardwick

Ah, just assumed the “Man” part had been cut off. Why were a Chester company brewing in Manchester, incidentally?

Would be kind of nice if there could be some sort of item on it on the OS, wouldn't it? Given the resources they put into other things, I don't think it would be too much to ask.
Anybody on here got any clout whatsoever with them?
No, thought not…

What a wonderful thread! - I have really enjoyed reading everyone's contributions.

I think the club might be interested in somehow marking the site with a plaque as the interest in City's history was demonstrated a couple of years ago when Sheikh Mansour purchased the old FA Cup trophy which was the first pot we won iirc.

A few questions spring to mind. Was Hyde Road unique in having a railway track between one of the stands and the pitch? Does anyone have links to photos or videos showing the ground? - I would love to see some trucks being shunted about whilst the ground has fans in it.
