Glossop Heritage Trust is a registered charity which used to run a Heritage Centre in the town. Unfortunately, last year, as a result of losing income from local government cutbacks the Centre had to close, although the Trust is still going.
Part of the resulting upheaval meant that I became webmaster for the Trust.
Even though I say it as shouldn't we are now doing pretty well in building up a resource for people interested in local & family history in the area.
The web site is www.glossopheritage.co.uk (http://www.glossopheritage.co.uk/) so if you have an interest in North West Derbyshire (and over the border into Cheshire) why not have a look and let me know what you think.

Hi Graham, i was sory to hear of the loss of the centre, but best of luck with the new site.
My connection with the area started in c 1952/3 when my stepfather became the landlord of the Organ Inn, Hollingworth, so i recall Sat nights, Victoria hall dance, with the Regent dance band, Sun. walking in the Park + a pint or two in Old Glossop, in the 1960s my wife & I lived in a flat in the old mill at Gnat Hole, very handy for walks across the local moors

Now there's a coincidence Tony. Gnat Hole Mill was built by my 4 x Great grandfather, John Robinson.
No dances at Victoria Hall these days. The council says it would breach the Disability Discrimination Act as putting in a lift to enable attendance by people unable to manage stairs would be well nigh impossible - and hellish expensive if it were possible.
I just about remember the Regent Dance Band but I moved away in 1968 so the memory is a bit dim :)
I did manage a few pints in The Wheatsheaf at Old Glossop with some old schoolmates during a visit in December though ;D

How do I get in touch with Graham, who has a website listing Robinsons in Glossop? I sent a message to the email address listed on that website, but it was rejected. I have evidence that my great-grandmother and her parents and siblings emigrated to the US in 1854, and would like to trace back further from her parents if I can. Thanks!

That's me.
If you click on the mailto link "send mail to Graham @ JiGraH" your e-mail client program should open. If you have typed the address in rather than using the link you have possibly mis-typed it. Alternatively you can PM me through Rootschat.
In Edit: Mailto links on the resource pages now amended to make them easier to understand.

Hi Graham / Bodger,
I was shown a photo of a band by the same name (Regent Dance Band) because my great grandad was the violinist. I googled the name and this thread came up! They looked to be a 4 piece - singer, banjo, violin and drummer.
I was curious to see if it was the same band!
I could forward the photo via email as it was too big to post on the thread
Best wishes
Cheers.

Kev got in touch with me via PM and, as a result, I realised that my contact details posted above, in November 2010, had not been updated. I've now added details to the foot of my home page (see my details on left).
