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.

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

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.
