"The Urban District Council in 1903-4 opened up the Pictor Promenade and other river walks ... "
(Kelly's Directory 1912)

Two more early twentieth century views of the attractive Pic Tor Walk or Promenade are provided here.

On the left is a card from the "Celesque" Series, published by the Photochrome Co. Ltd, London and Tunbridge Wells (No. 49112). The path is beside the River Derwent, at the foot of Pic Tor.

This card was posted in Matlock on 27 Oct 1920 and sent to Miss Maggie Macdonald of Littleborough near Manchester. The sender was clearly enjoying him/her self. The message reads:

"champion over here The afternoons are lovely just like summer and am spending my time outside".
