Derbyshire Makes Part 2 - Glossop, As It Is

Enjoy listening to Glossop and its surrounding towns closer than you’ve ever done before!

Soundscapes and snippets of audio have been captured over several years, and now with the public’s help, sound artist Clare Savory has transformed everyday moments in Glossopdale into a visualised piece of art.

From the dawn chorus in Hadfield, to the owls tooting in Simmondley.

To the sizzle of the chippy fryer in Gamesley to the rhythmic whirring of Spring Clean launderette in Glossop.

There’s curlews in Crowden, grouse on Wormstones and plenty of ducks in Manor Park.

The away fans are singing loudly at Glossop North End, whilst the trains roll on above over the viaduct.

Listen to Longclough brook from above, and below.

To Graeme baking bread on Shrewsbury Street.

To the wind in the trees near Moorfield.

And sneak inside the parish church in Old Glossop to hear the bell ringers’ practice!

Thank you to Simon, Jason, Margaret, Claire, Liz, Mark, Mark, Kaleb, Jane, Carys and more of you for sending in your recordings!
