EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Commercial Inn & Village in Crowden, Glossop, near Woodhead, Derbyshire, England, as it appeared in 1905. Nestled in the picturesque countryside of the Peak District National Park, this quaint English village has remained largely unchanged for over a century, retaining its charming character and rich history. The Commercial Inn, a prominent feature of the village, stands proudly at its heart. Its red-brick facade and welcoming sign invite weary travelers to rest and refuel after a long journey through the rugged Derbyshire landscape. The inn's large windows offer a glimpse into the cozy, rustic interior, where a roaring fire and the aroma of hearty meals would have beckoned visitors in from the cold. Surrounding the inn, the village of Crowden is a quaint and idyllic settlement, with its neatly-aligned cottages, cobblestone streets, and lush gardens. The village green, with its ancient oak tree and quaint gazebo, would have been the heart of community life, where residents gathered for social events, celebrations, and daily errands. The area around Crowden was once a thriving hub of industry, with coal mining and textile manufacturing playing a significant role in the local economy. The Woodhead Pass, which can be seen in the background of the image, was a major transportation route, connecting the village to the bustling towns and cities of the region. Today, the Commercial Inn & Village in Crowden remains a popular destination for visitors seeking a taste of authentic English countryside life. The village's rich history, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality continue to draw visitors from near and far, making it a must-see destination for anyone exploring the Peak District National Park.
