An early twentieth century view of the River Derwent from Matlock's Bridge. On the right are the back of the shops of Dale Road. The Hall Leys is on the left bank and, if you look very hard, you can just about make out through the trees both the bandstand and the footbridge across the river. Riber Castle is on the hilltop and the tower of St. Giles' Church below.


The postcard is one of the "Celesque" Series, published by the Photochrome Co. Ltd, London and Tunbridge Wells (B.38512). The card is unused so the date of publication only approximate.
