About this Event
Hyde900: Exhibition of Finds Discovered in Hyde900 Community Digs
Heritage Open Day: See the finds discovered in local gardens during community excavations from 2016 to 2023. The key finds from the 2016 to 2023 community digs will be exhibited to illustrate the history of the area of Hyde once occupied by Hyde Abbey, the final burial place of Alfred the Great. They will tell the story of this area of Hyde from prehistoric to modern times.
The exhibition will feature a chronological display of finds ranging from flint scraper blades from the neolithic period through to the remains of a 2nd World War air raid shelter! The display will include remains from the Roman occupation of the area and the materials of the construction and rebuilding of the abbey over its life from the 12th to the 16th century.
