| A view of Dale Road from the opposite bank of the River Derwent, close to Matlock Bath station, and one of the first scenes Edwardian visitors would have seen when they arrived by train. The oval sign on the building at the left of the parade is for the County and Station Hotel run by Francis Hoyland, who was described in the 1901 census as an Inn Keeper and Tobacconist. In various trade directories the hotel advertised that it catered for parties and had "good stabling" which was at the rear. The County and Station is at the bottom of Holme Road. The large house in the centre of the picture is The Laurels which was run as apartments by Mrs. Sarah Shimwell. Her husband, Samuel, was the Parish Clerk. The road from The Laurels to the right is Brunswood Road and both Rockvale Villas and Rockvale Terrace are peeping out above the trees. Postmarked 25 Sep 1905, the card was posted at Newport, MON and sent to John Mills of Potlanfraid, MON. |
