Today there are no shops in Old Glossop, yet once this was a bustling village with all the conveniences. Some of them are listed below.

Butchers

The old Bailiffs House served as a butchers during the first half of the 20th century. After it became a private residence the shop window (bottom right first floor) was replaced with a mullioned window, more in-keeping with the building’s era.

On Dunne Lane (between the Bulls Head and Wheatsheaf) you can find evidence of another butchers shop. Either side of the lamb’s head are typical butchers’ tools.
