Glossop Town Hall and Market were built by Bernard Edward Howard, the 12th Duke of Norfolk. The foundation stone was laid in 1938. Municipal Buildings started out as the open fish market part of the current market building before various alterations and additions over the years.
The Municipal Buildings is used mainly for office accommodation; the Market Hall still trades as a market three days a week; and the Town Hall was used as a public hall/venue but has been out of use since 2008 due to accessibility issues and limited use.
All of the buildings are listed and were the subject of an extensive public consultation exercise in as part of the Glossop Design and Place Making Strategy which expresses the aspirations of the Glossop public.
We are working to bring these iconic buildings back in to community use and secure them for the future.
A project to replace the roof at the Town Hall is now nearing completion and we are working on options for the future use of the building.
We have recently announced plans for the next phase of this significant investment which is to replace the roofs at the Market Hall and Municipal Building. You can read more about our progress below:
