Amongst Matlock's plans for celebrating Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee was that "the Hall Leys will be laid out, a bridge thrown over the Town Brook at Knowlestone Place, to below the Pig Tor Rocks, and from there on to the extremity of the district, joining that of Matlock Bath. The other side of the stream is also proposed to be developed similarly[1]".

This coloured view of one of the walkways on the Pic Tor Promenade that were created in 1903-4 replaces the black and white version that was on another page. What looks like tree roots is rustic fencing.
