A new display remembering the station's Lowestoft connection

A NEW permanent display is now on view in the Waiting Room.
An abbreviated version of our Poetry Platform display from last year, it tells the story of the part Glossop played in the Lowestoft Evacuation of June 1940 and celebrates the continuing links between the two towns.
Several of the evacuees and their families unveiled a commemorative plaque on the station when they visited us from Lowestoft in June last year.
The new display, which includes some first hand accounts, is a reminder of those events from the second World War.
