The Glossop Tramway was a 4.5-mile (7.2 km) long passenger tramway service connecting the mill towns of Glossop and Hadfield in Derbyshire, England.[1] It was authorised by the Board of Trade in 1901 and was opened in 1903 on a gauge of 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm). It was closed in 1927, with the branch to Whitfield closing in 1919.
Glossop's was the second electric tramway in Derbyshire, opening three years after that of Ilkeston. It was a private enterprise run by the Urban Electric Supply Company, which also owned the Camborne and Redruth Tramway in distant Cornwall. The line was in the form of an inverted C, with the main termini at Hadfield and Old Glossop, with a short spur that terminated at Whitfield.
