Glossop Heritage Trust, Derbyshire

	Glossop Heritage Trust Registered Office, 65 High Street West, Glossop, SK13 8AZ Glossop & District Heritage Trust is a company limited by guarantee, company number 0945480; Registered Charity no. 517900. Patron: Edward William Fitzalan Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk. Glossop, "the Gateway to the Peak", is in the extreme north west of Derbyshire, surrounded by the most magnificent scenery of the Peak District and yet only 14 miles from Manchester's city centre and 24 miles from Sheffield.

Supported by High Peak Borough Council

Glossop Heritage Trust was incorporated on 6 September 1985 to promote the understanding of the heritage of Glossop and District including Longdendale and the townships of Hadfield, Padfield, Charlesworth, Chisworth and Tintwistle.
For over twenty years Glossop Heritage Trust, supported initially by Derbyshire County Council and subsequently by High Peak Borough Council, successfully provided a Heritage Centre in Glossop. Sadly the adverse economic climate forced its closure in 2009. However, the Trust’s extensive collection of local artefacts, records, memorabilia, archives and photos are currently in store and much is being digitised so it can be accessed by all.
We are still keen to receive further donations of items of local interest.
We would be sad to see things like photos, documents and memorabilia about local people, churches, schools, mills, villages, parks and transport lost forever to future generations.
