Northeast by east

Day 6 following the compass point lines drawn from Glossop Town Centre and I'm back near the start point.

The line passes through the right side of this church on Ellison street and continues across Manor park the subject of yesterday's blip.

If the sun had shone I would have followed the line on to the moors to a favourite spot Small Clough to the SE of Cock hill. Rain or shine tomorrow's blip will be a hillside.

The following is from Glossop heritage website:

Elim, Ellison Street, Glossop.
In May 1888 the ceremony of cutting the first sod was performed by Mrs. Howton. By then £100 had already been subscribed for the Chapel which was to cost £700.
The foundation stones were laid on Saturday 15th July 1888 by Mrs. R. Howton (wife of Evangelist) and Mrs. J. Goldsmith of Union Street, Glossop for what was later to become Elim Tabernacle but which was then known as The Gospel Union and Blue Ribbon Mission of which Pastor A. Howton was the Evangelist. Prior to 1888 the Mission was held in the then Liberal Hall. Both ladies received silver trowels with which to formally lay the stones. The Mission was really the off spring of the Blue Ribbon Army founded by Pastor Howton when he first came to Glossop and which held services in public places and at street corners as the Salvation Army does today. There was a Blue Ribbon Army Band conducted by Mr. S. Arnold.
In March 1939 the then Pastor, R.D. Bradley and his congregation decorated the chapel.
This Chapel is still in use today.
