Part of a large collection of 'just' images of Matlock and Matlock Bath
 
High Tor views are described on postcards and in books as being in both Matlock Bath and Matlock. Little wonder that this view was so favoured by artists!

Half size images are shown below. There is the ability to see the full size image and what is on the back, either full size or half size, in another window by clicking on the coloured links. Not all images can be displayed at on the page, so you may need to click the link to see the picture.
