JBG is credited with the authorship of "Glossop Road" (about a Rifle Corps soldier courting 'the girls up Glossop Road') in "Cum All Yo Cutlin' Heroes", Smith Spalding and Sutton, Sheffield 1967, pp.12-13. Is this possibly a re-working of a song he used elsewhere? It was sold on a broadside in West Bar, near the Surrey Music Hall.
