About
About Glossop
Glossop is a market town in the borough of High Peak, Derbyshire, England, 13 miles (21 km) east of Manchester, 24 miles (39 km) west-northwest of Sheffield and 32 miles (51 km) north-east of Matlock.
Glossop is at the northwestern extremity of Derbyshire and the Peak District, close to the borders with Greater Manchester and Yorkshire. It also lies at the start of two of the most infamous Pennine passes, the Snake and Woodhead passes. Its main development is owed to the 19th-century cotton industry which generated the wealth to build much of the town we see today, although the cotton industry has since declined and almost disappeared from the region.
