Shown here is a view of the River Derwent and Derwent Terrace, Matlock Bath from the railway. Although this image is now rather brown because of aging, the post card shows how little of the Upperwood area had been developed by 1890.

The riverside buildings include the Fountain Baths (lower centre, partly behind a tree) and the Methodist Church in the middle of Derwent Parade. Beside the river in the foreground is the Promenade, the width of which was substantially reduce for road widening. On the river's edge can be seen the small landing stage opposite the band stand (not shown) and small rowing boats are moored ready to be hired by visitors.

Above Derwent Parade is the zig zag of Waterloo Road leading up to the Round House and the wooded grounds of Heights of Abraham. Part of Temple Walk is also visible, though the Temple Hotel is obscured by the trees.

There is a similar view, taken some thirty years later, which shows the Jubilee Bridge (see link below).
