The main subject of this picture is Pic Tor and the War Memorial which commemorates those who lost their lives in World War One. It was deliberately sited at this location so it could be seen from Matlock. Riber Castle dominates the skyline and the tower of Matlock's Parish Church - St. Giles' - peeps through the trees on the Tor, but is lower down the slope that the Memorial. The railway line carried passengers between London and Manchester at that time. Bottom left and only just visible are buildings next to the bridge over the River Derwent. The card was posted on 28 April 1935 in Matlock but its message is a personal one and not relevant to picture. |
