King Street, GLOSSOP, SK13 8LU

This pub on Gladstone Street I expected to see closed-down and converted to a house. Instead I find it rebranded with an Irish Theme. For many years this was a Boddingtons pub called The Victoria Vaults. All the locals however knew it as "The Spara's" after a long-left landlord called Sparrow. Perhaps about eight years ago it was renamed "The Sparrows" with a suitable sign portraying a male passer domesticus but within the last two it has become Flanagan's.

Looking roughly south east (and definitely uphill) from its junction with King Street.

Off Victoria Street.

On the right is the former Littlemoor Chapel. The Chapel opened in 1811 and was enlarged in 1845. The graveyard containing 3,000 bodies was exhumed and re-interred at Glossop Municipal Cemetery in April 1976 and a memorial stone to those once buried at Littlemoor can now be seen there. The Chapel eventually closed and is now used as a Fitness Centre. More information on this and other Glossop churches can be found on the web pages of Glossop Heritage Trust http://www.glossopheritage.co.uk/indep.htm

On the right is The Brook Tavern Image Until recently it was The Last Orders Image It was originally the Albion Inn and subsequently the "Albion Hotel", "The Trap" and the "Market Tavern". Below that is Glossop Cafeteria and the Glossop Pizza. On the left is "The Balti Palace" which claims to have won "Curry Chef of the Year 2015".

On the right is The Last Orders which appears to be "Under New Management". It was originally the Albion Inn and subsequently the "Albion Hotel", "The Trap" and the "Market Tavern". In the middle is Glossop Cafeteria and next Glossop Pizza. On the left is "The Balti Palace" which claims to have been "Curry Chef of the Year 2015". Note: Photograph is for record purposes only. The photographer has no connection with the businesses depicted.

This was a once huge complex of 9 acres that dominated the centre of town. This large gritstone block has now been converted to a shopping complex and luxury apartments. The site was originally called Howardtown Mills but seems to have been rebranded following conversion as Howard Town Mills.

Looking upstream from Victoria Bridge. The former mill on the left is part of the Howard Town development which includes a Travelodge, an Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop and a Wetherspoons pub "The Smithy Fold".
