Newton Hall, standing in Hyde since 1370.

Social Media Marketing is the new kid on the (marketing) block, dating from 2008. Juice Digital’s building dates from the same year.

Not 500 metres away on our  industrial estate is one of the oldest buildings in the area, Newton Hall, a cruck-framed oak-and-wattle-constructed hall dating from 1370. In its time, it was a benchmark for oak-framed construction.

The Hall has a glass inspection tower built into it during the re-construction in 1970. It enables visitors to see the construction method, using oak pegs rather than nails.
