He used his skill as a saddler to develop and patent a strong quick-fastening belt drive. Following the success of the new belt fastener, he redeveloped his Victoria Street business to form a fine row of commercial premises, named Jackson’s Buildings. Later, to facilitate further development of Victoria Street, Isaac moved his growing business to Norfolk Street, close to his house Holly Mount. During WW1, Isaac Jackson helped to develop reliable shell detonators. His success enabled him, in 1919, to provide the money to enable the Council to buy the Town Hall and Market Rights from Lord Howard, in honor of those who served during WW1. In 1920 he was made a Freeman of the Borough of Glossop. He died in 1922 and his will made provision for the 'Isaac and Harriet Jackson Trust' set up and administered in perpetuity as a local charity.â€** Start Price: $1,500.00
