Old Glossop is a village in north-western Derbyshire which is the original part of the town of Glossop. The village is in Glossopdale about fifteen miles east of Manchester. The village is on the very edge of the Peak District national park.
Glossop's town centre was originally this village but it migrated to the west with the industrial revolution and the building of a planned mill town (originally called Howard Town or New Glossop) and the railway from Manchester to Sheffield and its Glossop branch[1][2]
At the beginning of the 1900s the village had eight pubs, but there are now only three: The Bulls Head, The Wheatsheaf and The Queens Arms Hotel. In addition, a microbrewery, Howard Town Brewery, is located in Old Glossop.
On television
In 2013, Old Glossop was used for filming in the BBC drama series The Village. The Parish Church of All Saints and the former Duke of Norfolk school building appeared in the series.
