Gentlemen, I beg leave to present tlie Medical Officer’s Report for the year 1911. The elevation of the district of the Borough of Glossop varies considerably: The lowest point is 407*2 feet above the level of the sea; this point is at the junction of the Glossop Brook with the Etherow at Woolley Bridge. A considerable portion of the town is in a more or less cup-shaped depression surrounded by hills. Some parts, however, rise to a higher level, though still below the level of the surrounding hills. The highest in- habited part is, I believe, Padfield Main Road, which rises to about 870 feet above the level of the sea. The district is on the millstone grit, and the subsoil in most parts is clay. Area. Land 3,033 acres ; Water 17 acres; Total 3,050 acres.
