About Shepley Street Allotments
Glossop's main allotment site stretches along Shepley Street on the northern side of town, backed by the steep hillside rising towards Bleaklow. The heavy clay soil typical of the Dark Peak area is challenging but productive, and the site's relative shelter from the worst weather — tucked into the valley floor at 180 metres elevation — makes it one of the more favourable growing locations in the High Peak. The Victorian-era plots have been cultivated continuously for well over a century.
Shepley Street plot holders have increasingly turned to PGT Repairs as their preferred workshop, finding the eighteen-minute drive to Hyde worthwhile for the quality of Paul's work. He understands the specific challenges of High Peak gardening and has helped many Glossop growers keep their machinery running reliably through the demanding conditions. Spring servicing bookings from this site fill up quickly each year.
For allotment holders at Shepley Street Allotments (7.5 miles from Hyde), Paul offers affordable collection and delivery. This is especially useful for heavy rotavators and mowers that are difficult to transport in a car.

Typical Repair Needs
The persistent Pennine dampness causes fuel system problems in stored equipment, and carburettor cleaning is the most common repair request. Rotavator engines strain against the stiff clay, and belts and cables need replacing more frequently than at lowland sites.
