This slightly grainy picture shows a view of the Dale below High Tor that is little different from that seen today[1]."The high-road along Matlock Dale, through which the Derwent ripples, with the towering heights of Masson on the one side, and on the other the precipitious cliff which form the river frontage of the High Tor, present a picture of rare charm, though in some places somewhat disfigured by quarry workings"[2]. |
