Everyone Loves Glossop!

Hello one and all! Have you heard the news? Glossop has it's own blog! Yes, SK13 is now has a Weekly Online News Source. Ahh it's windy and rain filled streets, fantastic culture and local events; I will be covering it all. I have had a love for the gateway to the dark peak from an early age and now I shall be bringing you some of its best moments.

Once the land of the Howard family and originally called Glossopdale; she's been here since 1086, in one form or another, and she just keeps getting bigger! I have a theory that popular culture wouldn't have been the same without dear old Glossop.

The case in point! The whole punk movement, which had a lasting effect on a lot of artists and musicians, would be a shade duller without the birth of 'Tintwisle' lass Dame Vivienne Westwood.

Anti-fashion just wouldn't have carried to the extent it did and none of those cheeky punks would have wore bondage pants and safety pins! L.S Lowry, Shaun Rider and his Bez also choose glossop and the surrounding area for their homes.

For all you purveyors of top shelf material, you wouldn't have Razzle or Mayfair if it weren’t for Glossop lad and billionaire pornographer, Paul Raymond. Even The Producer and co-creator of BBC’s Top Gear, Andy Wilman, was born in this very town!

Glossop needs documenting, and this blog will set itself the task to sift through all the news, facts and gossip to bring you the very best in Glossop Talk.
