This seems to have always been a
sparsely populated thoroughfare and
the name is possibly derived from the
Saxon word ‘Higid’ for ‘Hide’ – an
area of land considered large enough
to support one family.
There are two properties in Hyde
Lane, one on the North side and one on
the south, both of which appear to be
named 'The Bungalow'
A now demolished cottage and
smallholding on the south side of the
lane was last occupied by Tom
Sainsbury.
A number of properties in Marie
Avenue, Elizabeth Close, Crossways
Close and The Headlands also have
pedestrian and vehicular accesses on
to Hyde Lane.
