Upon completion, it was likened to a Manhattan skyline, but merely served as a series of tower block prisons for its residents. Now in the process of a major regeneration project, attempting to retrain the out-of-workers, rebuild the less salubrious sections and encourage the 40% of adults who are illiterate to indulge in some Lifelong Learning.

Hyde itself gained infamy when the town's doctor was found to be bumping off many of his patients. As yet he is convicted of fifteen murders and whilst serving life is being investigated for a further 150. He is Britain's worst serial killer to date.
