Longdendale Lights, Ghosts and Tunnels; Glossop Chronicle

Glossop Chronicle journalist David Jones walks from Hadfield Train Station along the Longdendale Trail recalling some of the stories he reported for the local newspaper.

From the opening of the trail, to walking the Woodhead train line tunnels to the many paranormal sightings in and around the valley… plus, rowdy football fans and a tale about Dick Turpin!

Many of the articles we talk about during this interview have been pinned to our digital map, available at LongdendaleTales.co.uk

This pilot project was supported by Glossop Creates as part of their Pairings programme, matched with Matt Ross at the Peak District National Park’s Longdendale Environmental Centre in Tintwistle.
