The title may say this is Matlock, but it is a view of Matlock Bath's
North Parade and Promenade. The card focusses the eye on the unknown
Edwardian lady and her daughter in the centre of the shot, but the
real subject is the Parade and its buildings constructed of local
stone. There were shops or eating places on the ground floor and living
accommodation above. The large church was the Wesleyan Methodist Church,
though the building has not been used for religious purposes for a
long time. A favourite pastime was boating on the river Derwent and
there a sign that boats are for hire from the landing stage below
the Promenade.
