Glossop Station

Glossop Railway Station was opened in 1845 by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne & Manchester Railway. The station and the branch line from Dinting were built privately by the Duke of Norfolk; ownership later transferred to the London and North Eastern Railway. In 2005, Glossop Environmental Trust undertook enhancement work to the station building and garden, with stone copings, railings and planting.

View from Harry Hut

The view direction given may be out by 90°. I have gone with what I typed into my phone's notebook, though it could be SouthEast - geographing would be a lot easier if 'w' and 'e' weren't right next to each other on the keyboard I often think! Sitting amongst lots of pretty purple heather, the hill itself is fairly unremarkable apart from the trig pillar; it's more of a bump on a plateau shared with Burnt Hill, which is due South, before the land slowly rises again to the East. Its name is pretty good though, and nobody seems to have a clue where it comes from. If there was a hut here once - which is surely the most logical explanation - should it not have been called 'Harry's Hut'? The answer will no doubt be in an old book somewhere. The trig point's height is 441 metres. All four sight-holes at the base are still there, which is fairly unusual, but on the other hand the bit in the middle of the top mounting plate has been concreted over.
