Hyde Local Area Guide
Lessons around Hyde use real local roads including Market Street, Stockport Road and Mottram Road, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. The bell in Hyde Town Hall's clocktower is known as 'Owd Joss', named after Joshua Bradley, a former child mill worker who rose to become a factory manager and town councillor who paid for the clock and bells.
We also plan around school-run traffic near Flowery Field Primary School and Hyde High School, using quieter spots like Hyde Park (Tameside) for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Market Street.
