Hyde Lane is an old road, which used to run from Park Street to Park Street Lane. The part that crossed the railway was stopped up reserving footpath rights by the British Railways Act 1966. The rest of the route may appear to be a cul-de-sac for riders, but it is planned that it will form part of a linking route between Moor Mill and Park Street Lane. The recording application was made to ensure that the route is safeguarded while the negotiations take place with adjoining landowners for the rest of the planned riding routes in the vicinity. We need a volunteer to photograph this route for this year's Access and Riding Rights of Way Survey. It's easy - just take photographs (safely) when you use the path. Find out more!
