Return to the home pageGlossop and District Historical Society was established in 1966. Its foundation aims were to arrange an annual programme of lectures, to help with the preservation of records and relics of Glossop’s past and to write the history of Glossop. Slightly more modestly our intentions listed in the Anniversary Card for 2006-7 are ‘to protect and preserve the historical record of Glossop, and to undertake research into the history of the area.’
The Society meets for the lecture programme on the last Friday of months from September to April (except December) at 7.30 in the Central Methodist Church room. New members are most welcome.
The annual membership fee of the society is £5. For further details please contact Dr John Smith 01457 853020 or click here to send an e-mail to Roger Hargreaves.
