A nostalgic look-back to 1950 and Glossop Wakes fortnight when many of the town’s mills and shops closed and most people took their annual holiday.
However, it wasn’t always a trip to the seaside as these photographs from the Glossop Chronicle reveal.
The picture is of holidaymakers catching a train from Glossop station to Blackpool, but the others show stay-at home Glossopians enjoying a sunny summer’s day in Manor Park.
And just for the record the photograph wasn’t taken on a beach in Rhyl, it’s the park’s sand pit.
