About Fencing in Glossop
Glossop in Derbyshire came into the ownership of the Howard family, the Dukes of Norfolk, in 1606, and they held the town for the next three hundred years, with Glossop customarily passed down to the family's younger sons. The town's plentiful water supply made it well suited to the growing cotton industry, and no fewer than 46 mills were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as the trade expanded rapidly. The area known as Howard Town grew from just three buildings in 1818 into a substantial mill settlement after John Wood arrived from Manchester in 1819 and bought and expanded the existing woollen mills there, installing the first steam engine and power looms in 1825. At its peak the Howard Town mill complex employed 8,000 people and was the largest integrated cotton spinning and weaving works in Derbyshire, though it entered a slow decline after Wood's death in 1854 and was eventually sold off in 1919.
