Moodsbottom Bridge, Glossop - an overlooked bit of the town's past. Behold... a new article has appeared on the website! Check it out here. Or don't, depending on your interest in possible medieval tracks, turnpikes, and Victorian bridges. #derbyshire glossopcuriosities.co.uk/2026/06/16/a...

A Bridge Too Far?

What ho, one and all! A bit of a quick one today, exploring one of the lesser-known, and certainly overlooked, bits of Glossop. Truthfully, I thought there might be more of a story here – per…

Imagine reading the ramblings of a pottery obsessed whackadoodle talking about what was on the stone in front of his fire... and enjoying it! Please feel free to read it. Or don't, I'm easy (*scribbles name off Christmas card list) #glossop #Derbyshire glossopcuriosities.co.uk/2025/09/25/a...

A Fireplace Finds Frenzy

What ho! Autumn is here… it was cold this morning, and leaves are already turning, and hopefully this article will be published on the Autumn Equinox. Probably. I mean to say… that&#821…

As a postscript to my latest article, I went back to the Whitfield Green site today, blackberry picking, & found this lovely sherd of a Manganese Mottled Ware cup/tankard. Late 17th or early 18th century in date. #Glossop #Archaeology check the post here glossopcuriosities.co.uk

St Thomas's church, Mellor. The treasures within - a Saxo-Norman (11th century) barrel font, with lovely hunting scene carvings, and a 14th century pulpit - and without - wonderfully carved graffiti. And amazing views, too.

Don't mind me, I'm just standing in the middle of a Roman Villa near Sorrento, holding some Roman pottery, with Mount Vesuvius in the background. Bonkers! #RomanThings #Archaeology

Historic graffiti seen at Calke Abbey, Derbyshire. On a reused medieval stone charger in the barn, a Victorian written 'H' next to a 'Marian' interlocking 'V', another Marian mark; then 'RC'; and then W.I Lardy 179? Interesting, but also... How did they get on the house?

I once had a consultation from the British Museum on an export licence for a 'prehistoric Derbyshire standing stone' someone had bought at auction from abroad - when I looked at the photos it was a gatepost 😀

I think some might originate from the church in Old Glossop, some might be 18th-19th century around the 'druidic revival' and someone once told me that a local was knocking them out quite recently and putting them in walls! There is a wider tradition in northern England too.

More carved stone heads, these from near Ashover - (left) built into the wall of a farm medieval in style but could be a Victorian Gothic imitation; and (right) found in a nearby stream and similar to 'Celtic' heads from Glossop. her.derbyshire.gov.uk/Monument/MDR... #Derbyshire #Archaeology

Just published a little article on the many wonderful types of gateposts, and their occasional secrets, to be found in the area. Appropriately titled 'Gateposts' - give it a read if you fancy, you might like it! #Glossop #Archaeology #Derbyshire glossopcuriosities.co.uk/2025/07/08/g...

We got all excited yesterday when consultation record 14000 came up in our system - that's 14000 inputs to the planning process, research and HER searches since we went digital in 1999. Local government archaeology services matter, and make a difference.

Broken (post?) medieval gate post on Old Lane, Simmondley. It leads from the lane into the medieval field system that sits either side of the track. Originally I thought these were track markers, but it seems they are gates #Glossop #Derbyshire #Archaeology #History

Oooh! I've just sent Where/When 5 off to the printers. Should be here later next week, in shops by weekend? An exploration of the Longdendale Trail. Not just a flat & somewhat boring walk, actually packed with ancient & more recent history & archaeology. #Glossop #Derbyshire

Stones seen on a Sunday walk - track markers and a gatepost. But honestly, nothing says relaxing afternoon walk like a bunch of gravestones blocking the dark path you are walking... #StandingStoneSunday #Glossop #Derbyshire
