'ROBERT HAMNETT
1855–1914
Glossop's first historian
and archaeologist
lived in the Railway Inn
which stood on this site
until 1909'
Norfolk Street, Glossop. Robert Hamnett was a 'watchmaker journeyman' with a shop at 14a High Street East and is perhaps best known for his book Glossop: A Sketch 'from the Earliest Period' (1904). The plaque was erected towards the end of last year.
My thanks to Woden for re-discovering a link to Hamnett's book here.
