1.4 INTRODUCTION

This Design and Access Statement is to support the planning application for improvements to the shopfronts of Jackson Buildings,Nos 1-13 Victoria Street Glossop, and follows on from the report and sketch proposals prepared for High Peak Borough Council to support the Glossopdale Townscape Heritage Initiative.

The initiative presents the opportunity to repair and upgrade a historically significant site in the centre of Glossop. The Jackson buildings are currently held by a number of owners in various conditions.

During the last five to ten years many of the units have seen a number of occupants and been for the most part poorly maintainedand under-invested.

The premises currently consist of: -

- 1 Thomas Cook: a national chain of commercial travel agents, the unit has an unused separate entrance to the first floor.

- 3 Pizza 4U: Largest unit with large second floor gable room and first floor glazed frontage.

- 5 Gas Appliance Stockists: The only unit functioning with the shop layout and joinery largely as intended. First floor glazed frontage and office.

- 7 Vacant: Raised ground floor level and access to a large lower floor seating area. Currently closed.

- 9 Vacant: Many original features due to lack of investment. Currently closed but with consent for fast food use.

- 11 Padtax Taxis: Few original features, separate flat owned and occupied above.

- 13 Hadfield Bakery: Separate flat above.

The buildings form part of the Norfolk Square Conservation Area and the Glossop Conservation Areas Character Appraisal identifies the poor quality of modern shopfronts in the area as an important conservation issue. In order to address this issue High Peak Borough Council have identified a number of buildings in the area as priority buildings within the Glossopdale Townscape Heritage Initiative, and Bench Architects were instructed to carry out archive research and prepare proposals for shopfront improvements.

A number of building owners have subsequently instructed Bench Architects to submit this planning application to allow the proposals to be implemented.



2. SITE HISTORY and SIGNIFICANCE: 2.1. JACKSON BUILDINGS - CONTEXT and LOCATION WITHIN GLOSSOP

Glossop has significant historical associations with the development of the textile industry in Derbyshire, which together with the special character of its streets and its unique mix of building styles has led the High Peak Borough Council to designate four conservation areas covering the town centre.

The Jackson Buildings - (the subject of this study) fall within the Norfolk Square Conservation Area and are identified as priority buildings in the Glossopdale Townscape Heritage Initiative.

The origin of Glossop as a centre for the cotton industry still defines its character: nineteenth century industrial mills and fine public buildings illustrate Glossop's development during a period where the textile industry dominated the local economy.

The centre of Glossop is also characterised by a range of commercial buildings, housing a wide range of small independent shops,and financial institutions clustered around the Victoria Street / High Street crossroads - the Jackson Buildings are located on the SE corner of this intersection. Interspersed between them are large-scale two and three storey administrative and public buildings. Residential areas are located around the commercial core and at the edges of the High Street.

Between the early 19th century and 1850 the population grew six fold as the continued growth of large individual mills was spurred on by the development of the steam engine. By 1842, Howard Town Mill, Wren Nest Mill and Sidebottom's in Hadfield were the prominent textile-mills. The majority of mills employed less than 100 people1. At that time Howard Town employed 1,256 people, Wren Nest 513 and Sidebottom's 835. The Howard Town Mills of John Wood and Brothers Limited was the largest textile mill site in northwest Derbyshire and at its peak was one of the largest integrated cotton mills in the country.

Following Glossop’s meteoric expansion there followed a period of consolidation when a number of related manufacturing industries established in the town. From this period until the1890’s, Glossop was a thriving market town providing employment for the wider area.

2.2. ISAAC JACKSON and the JACKSON BUILDINGS

Isaac Jackson was a saddler from Hyde - who operated from near the ‘Hanging Gate’ in High Street West - Glossop [Kelly’sDirectories 1886]. From there he moved to premises in Victoria Street [Kelly’s Directories 1891 - “Jackson, Isaac – saddler & harness maker & dealer in India-rubber & water proof goods, 2 High st. & Victoria st.”].

The standard technique of fastening mill belts-drives (of which the Glossop Mills had thousands), was to lace belts together utilizing leather thongs. This method was very slow and a requirement arose for a fastener which could be quickly and easily applied using minimum skills.

Isaac Jackson used his skill as a saddler to develop and patent a strong quick-fastening belt drive. Key dates in the development of the Jackson fastener include: -

� In 1884 ‘IJ’ founded the Glossop Belt Co. and partnered in a belt manufacturing company at Dudley Mill near Bradford.

� In 1885 along with a Mr. Williamson ‘IJ’ took out a joint patent for a tape fastener which was a failure and resulted in a considerable loss of money.

� Following Mr. Williamson’s death in 1887 ‘IJ’ refined his development of a successful fastener and invented the “Concave and Convex Fastener” which were named as “Jackson’s Original Fasteners” and patented in 1890”.

� 1894/1896 - Following his patent’s success ‘IJ’ redeveloped his Victoria Street premises to form a fine row of commercial premises the Jackson Buildings. To enable the redevelopment of Victoria Street ‘IJ’ moved his manufactory to Norfolk Street. By 1901 he was employing 50 people in an expanding company, having added tool-making and the manufacture of nuts and bolts to his resources.

� 1903 - Isaac Jackson applied for Patent No 26,698 for “Improvements in and relating to Belt Fasteners and the like” - [see fig. 1].



� 1905 - In 1905 ‘IJ’ moved his manufactory to Hawkshead Mill. Hawkshead Mill was erected adjoining Blackshaw Clough in 1791. The 1880 OS map indicates that it was still in use as a cotton mill at that time; however, the 1898 map marks it as disused. By 1911 his labour force had grown to 150, and he was regarded as a consultant on engineering problems. [Derbyshire Record Office D5162/8/15-17 and D5162/19/8-9. See also figs. 2-5].

There has been some survival of industrial and other buildings in this area, including a brick chimney, although the mill pond has been filled in - see http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=15712.

� 1914-1918 during the ‘Great-War’ Jackson helped develop reliable shell detonators. [See figs. 6].

� 1919 - ‘IJ’s success led in 1919 to him buying the Town Hall and market rights from Lord Howard and presenting them to the people of Glossop in honour of the fallen of the town in the Great War. [See Derbyshire Record Office D5162/8/41-421919 Duplicate conveyance of Glossop Market Place and Town Hall, and duplicate grant of fair rights, tolls, tallages and franchises, Francis Edward, Baron Howard of Glossop and his trustees to the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the Borough of Glossop - Includes plan - 19 Jun 1919 and A.H Birch - Small Town Politics 352.04251 - OUP 1959: p28 “In retrospect the peace celebrations at Glossop in 1919 look like a grand finale. All the great families were represented, for the last time:Lord Howard, Lord Doverdale and his daughter-in-law the mayoress, Sir John Wood, Major and Mrs. Samuel Wood, James Sidebottom, Colonel and Mrs. Heywood (heiress of the Platts), Thomos Rhodes and Isaac Jackson. The Woods and Heywoods entertained old people to tea, Lord Dovedale gave the children medals. Lord Howard gave a landscaped avenue in memory of a son killed in the war. The highlight of the proceedings was the purchase and presentation to the Borough by Isaac Jackson of the town-hall and market rights”1. [1= Local Collection - programme of the Peace Celebrations, 1919].

� 1920 - made a Freeman of the Borough of Glossop [figs 7-10] The presentation casket included images of Jacksons Buildings and the Town Hall

� d1922 - died, his will made provision for the ‘Isaac and Harriet Jackson Trust’ set up and administered in perpetually as a local charity [Registered Charity Number: 237826].

2.3. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION of the JACKSON BUILDINGS

The Jackson Buildings comprise a well mannered Edwardian Baroque or ‘Queen Ann’ style commercial development, which originally comprised:

� George Brownson's tailoring business and department store at the intersection of High Street East-Victoria Street - [National Westminster Bank - much altered]. The entrance to the store was positioned on the curved corner of the cross-roads and large rationalistic display windows and painted glass signage dominating the first floor. The second floor constructed within a Mansard roof, balustraded with curved pediment-dormer windows. The principal dormer on the corner had an elaborate curved pediment; [see - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~brownson/BrownsonGeorge.htm].

� Paired gabled shops [Nos. 3-5] - punctuate the centre of the Jackson Buildings. These are architecturally different form the standard shop units and dominate the street scape with their shouldered and finial gable, and scrolled masonry-consoles precariously balanced on the adjacent shop balusters. An apex plaque dates the building as 1896. The six-light display windows at first floor have curved transoms and Leggot controlled fanlights. The shop fronts consisted of divisional pilasters, console bracket, facia and cornice. A curved stall-riser with slender timber column, glazing and timber soffit-panels led to recessed entrance doors.

� Standard Units of varied width [Nos. 1, 7-13] - comprise of shop fronts of divisional pilasters, console bracket, facia boards and cornices with blind-boxes. Stall-risers with slender timber column, glazing and timber soffit-panels led to recessed entrance doors. These were placed centrally or offset depending on the shop width. First floor windows have chamfered mullions and window heads with large - paned sash windows. The second floor constructed within a Mansard roof, balustraded and with curved pediment-dormer windows.

� Comparative Details - as well as contextual research and on site investigations, comparative joinery details from Edwardian joinery manuals have been used detail the shop fittings the shop front reconstructions. One particularly useful guide is Modern Practical Joinery by George Ellis - 3rd Edition 1908 - B.T. Batsford. www.helm.org.uk provides useful conservation advice with over 30 Local Authority / English Heritage design guides on the repair and reinstatement of historic shop fronts.

The Architect and Builder of the Jackson Buildings are currently unknown.

Stylistically the Jackson Buildings are similar to the designs of Weightman and Hadfield of Sheffield who between 1838 and 1939 where the architects for a number of important Glossop buildings including Town hall, market hall and municipal buildings,1838, 1845, 1897 and 1923 for the 12th Duke of Norfolk.

Matthew Ellison Hadfield (8 September 1812 - 9 March 1885) was an English architect of the Victorian Gothic revival. He is chiefly known for his work on Roman Catholic churches, including the cathedral churches of Salford and Sheffield. Hadfield was born at Lees Hall in Glossop, the son of Joseph Hadfield and Mary Hadfield (neé Ellison). He attended Woolton Grove Academy



in Liverpool, and subsequently, between 1827 and 1831, he worked for his uncle Michael Ellison (his mother's brother), agent of the estates of the Dukes of Norfolk in Sheffield.

Practising as an architect in Sheffield from 1834, Hadfield's first commission was the design of a monument to the 402 victims in Sheffield of the cholera epidemic of 1832. [1] In 1838 Hadfield entered a partnership in Sheffield with John Grey Weightman, which lasted until 1858. In 1850 they were joined by their former pupil George Goldie, and the partnership between Hadfield and Goldie lasted until 1860. From 1864[2] or 1865[3] Hadfield was in partnership with his son Charles Hadfield (1840-1916). After Hadfield's death in 1885, his son continued the practice, and was later joined in partnership by Hadfield's grandson Charles Matthew Ellison Hadfield (1867- 1949).

2.4. CARTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

2.4.1. FIGURES 11-12: Glossop Poor Law Union map 1857 (D6634).

Glossop Heritage Trust has documented the development of Howardtown Mills [See www.glossopheritage.co.uk/wood] including the site on Victoria Street of the Jackson Buildings. “March 12, 1827, Mr. Wood ordered from James Russell, Wednesbury near Birmingham, 5,150 feet of piping and 698 T's. He writes, after giving the details of the piping:- And as I understand it is a general rule to return any part of tubing which may be left after the mill is fitted up, you will, of course, have no objection to do the same. You will please send word by what conveyance you will send them, with an account of the particulars bypost, and when they are to be in Manchester. Mr Wood erected his first gas forks in 1827 on the site of Jackson's Buildings and the prices he paid were; Retorts, 13s. per cwt., purifiers, 15s per cat.; hydraulic main, 13s. per cwt; gasometer pillars, 11s. per cwt., gasometer, weights 10s. per cwt”.

“On the 29th October, 1835 he [John Wood] took in vacant land bounded on the East and South by the Chapel-en-le-Frith Road, on the West by the recently formed branch road (Victoria Street) leading to the Norfolk Arms Inn, on the North by Land and houses belonging to Thomas Howe and Robert Wagstaffe, nos 2 to 14a, High Street East. On this land he built offices and houses including a weigh house, now pulled down. Jackson's Buildings now occupying the site. On the 13th October, 1840, he took a lease of vacant land containing 908 square yards, bounded on the East by premises of John Wood and exors., of Robert Bennett; on the West by the Chapel-en-le-Frith Road and premises of John Wood; on the South by the Glossop Brook”.

2.4.2. FIGURES 13-14: Ordnance Survey Plans, 1:500 plans: 1st edition (1880) (Sheet XXIX.8)

The 1879-1880 map illustrates Jacksons new workshops to the north of the weigh-house [W.M.] illustrated on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey. [NB - cross check evidence of Victoria Street workshop location].

2.4.3. FIGURES 15-16: Ordnance Survey Plans, 1:2500 plans: 2nd edition (1897) (Sheet XXIX.8)

The 2nd edition Ordnance Survey does not record the newly constructed Jackson Buildings, but Jackson’s expanded workshops are illustrated north of the weigh-house.

2.4.4. FIGURES 17-18: Ordnance Survey Plans, 1:2500 plans: 3rd edition (1919) (Sheet XXIX.8)

The 3rd edition Ordnance Survey finally record the Jackson Buildings constructed in 1896.



2.5 PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

2.5.1. GENERAL VIEWS:

[Figs. 19-24] By c1910 a colonnaded cast-iron and glass canopy was installed to the Jackson Buildings street frontage. Contemporary black & white photographs illustrate the structure as the ‘Jackson Arcade’. The arcade signage, uniform paint colour and holistic treatment of the street frontage suggest the ‘unification’ of a single ownership or landlord.

2.5.2. HIGH STREET EAST:

[Fig 25] The corner unit was ‘Brownson, George Ltd’ - Tailor/clothier/ outfitter Glossop 2 High Street East & Victoria Street and the photograph shows the view down Victoria Street in the mid twentieth century. [Fig 26] Also on the High Street ‘TP Hunter Provisions Merchant’ shows a typical traditional shopfront of the time.

2.5.3. No. 01 VICTORIA STREET [Thomas Cook] and : No. 03 VICTORIA STREET [Pizza 4U]:

[Fig 27] This photograph from c1950 shows ‘Cash & Co – Bootmaker’ at 1 Victoria Street and ‘Argenta Meat Co Ltd – Butcher’ at No 3

2.5.4. No. 07 VICTORIA STREET [Vacant]:

[Fig 28] A photograph from c1900 shows ‘J. H. Stanfield, R.P.C. - sanitary engineer, plumber, authorised gas and water fitter, ironmonger and leather merchant. iron, zinc, and copper-plate worker. Bell fitter and glazier. Baths, Lavatories, and Water Closets Fixed on the Latest Sanitary Principle.’ The address is given as: Jackson's Buildings, Victoria Street, Glossop.

3 CONSULTATION

The proposals and report were prepared on behalf of High Peak BC and presented to owners and tenants at a meeting on 8 March 2011, and were generally well received although not all the owners have chosen to adopt the proposals.

4 DESIGN

The proposals are for alterations to the shop fronts only so that the amount of development, its layout, scale, landscaping and the use of the site remain unchanged.

The proposed appearance is derived from the historic research carried out into Jackson Buildings, and is intended as reconstruction of the original shop fronts presenting a unified frontage, reflecting the architectural and historic unity of the buildings. [Drawings 210-217] There are two main shop front types:

Paired gabled shops [Nos. 3-5] – [Drawings 212 and 213} The shop fronts consist of divisional pilasters, console bracket, facia and cornice. A curved stall-riser with slender timber column, glazing and timber soffit-panels led to recessed entrance doors. Standard Units of varied width [Nos. 1, 7-13] – [Drawings 211 and 214-217] These comprise of shop fronts of divisional pilasters, console bracket, facia boards and cornices with blind-boxes. Stall-risers with slender timber column, glazing and timber soffit-panels lead to recessed entrance doors. These are placed centrally or offset depending on the shop width and existing internal constraints. The evidence for the design of the proposed reconstruction is good with many isolated elements of the original shop fronts still surviving in places, together with the old photographs and comparative details form the period. [Detail drawings 305-307] Allowance has been made for concealed lighting and ‘straight’ blinds typical of the period with concealed blind boxes [Drawing 307]

At present only the shop front entrance doors of units 5, 7 and 11 are in the original positions. It is hoped to reinstate the entrance door positions to units 1, 3 and 9 as part of the proposed works.

5 ACCESS

Existing access arrangements are established with Victoria Street sloping across the frontage and internal floor levels fixed.
