Old Glossop is the historic heart of Glossop in High Peak, Derbyshire, England. Perched on steep valley slopes above the river, it has a compact centre of stone terraces, a small market area and Victorian civic buildings that reflect the 19th‑century boom when textile mills dominated the local economy.
Today the area keeps a strong community feel with independent shops, pubs and local events, and many former mill buildings have been converted to housing or small businesses. Its proximity to Manchester makes it a popular commuter base, while walkers and visitors use it as a gateway to the nearby Peak District, so tourism and conservation play a steady part in the local mix alongside everyday life.
