Old Glossop is the original centre of Glossop collected around All Saints' church, seen here on the right. Howard Town, or New Glossop, grew up in the Industrial Revolution, its prominence consolidated when the railway arrived - today it is the commercial centre with the principal shops and businesses. That has left Old Glossop as a rather sleepy but undeniably atmospheric suburb with, here and there, hints of its former importance. This view captures something of the ambience.
