Hadfield Spiritualist Church, 7 Jones Street, Hadfield
This hut, which appears to be made of corrugated iron, is the Hadfield Spiritualist Church. The sign outside actually says Hadfield Spiritual Church, but maybe that was a mistake, or the name has changed. The church is a member of the Spiritualists' National Union.

Bankbottom, Hadfield
The road is typical of the older ones in this area. The stone of the buildings is considerably less black than in the 1960's, when there were many working mills here. The road name is often spelt Bank Bottom, but on the road signs it appears as Bankbottom.

The New Lamp (1), 12 Bankbottom, Hadfield
Located on the corner of Bankbottom and Station Road. The pub has an intriguing history, as it is reported to have been a brothel, long ago. These days it is a popular pub, and to complete the atmosphere, some years ago staff reported seeing the ghost of an unknown man.

The New Lamp (2) - sign, 12 Bankbottom, Hadfield
The sign appears to be a miner's lamp. According to the 1835 trade directory published by Pigot, coal was mined about three miles from Glossop. As Hadfield is very near there, maybe there were mines near here, and the pub derived its name from them. Certainly coal mining was a very strenuous job, and miners were renowned for drinking many pints of beer after a hard day's work.
