Summary
Built in 1894-96 by Isaac Jackson, a saddler & harness maker, he founded Glossop Belt Co. making fasteners for belts for the cotton mills.

Paired gabled shops punctuate the centre of the Jackson Buildings. These are architecturally different from 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.

Jackson Buildings originally had a cast-iron awning which was removed in the early 20th century.

A recovery vehicle towing a broken down bus collided with buildings in Glossop town centre and became embedded. The collision occurred at around 6pm on 20 May 2014 with the bus becoming embedded in the shop fronts of a taxi company and a takeaway on Victoria Street. The recovery vehicle was wedged between a lamp post and the bank.
