| This photograph belongs to the relatives of Harold Cook, a young Matlock boy who died during the Great War. It was taken by Statham of Matlock and is understood by the family to show both Harold's mother, Alice, and her nephew Bill. The picture is undated, but must have been taken somewhere between 1925 and 1928. Alice is thought to be the lady seated fourth from the left, just above the arrow. The lady with dark glasses in the front row was a nurse at Smedley's Hydro. The lady in row two - the row behind the vicar - and four along from him to the right (so next to a gentleman) is Mrs. Marion Wildgoose. The lady three rows up behind the vicar (dark coat, no hat and head tilted to her right) almost certainly used to work in a shop in Matlock - possibly in Boots. The large balding man in a dark suit about three rows back and fourth along from the left of the picture used to work in Marsden's outfitters. The photograph was taken in the garden of garden of The Mansion, on Church Street in Ashbourne.  See
an etching of The Mansion elsewhere on this websiteThe vicar in the picture was Canon Morris, vicar of Ashbourne, and the gentleman on his immediate right is Mr P. Turnbull, the churchwarden of St. Oswald's. It is likely that a group from All Saints' Church in Matlock went to Ashbourne for the day, where they were entertained by the vicar and parishioners of Ashbourne church. If you look on the right of the picture you can just see a trestle table. Please email
the webmistress if you recognise anyone in the photograph. |
