Cubley's "The Derwent, Matlock Bath" was painted from a vantage point just upstream from the ferry that crossed the River Derwent, so close to the back of where is now The Grand Pavilion / Mining Museum. The Ferry House, demolished about 1910, is the building on the right. The painting includes the ferryman and his passengers; he stands in the boat to pull on the ferry rope that is stretched across the river. He would be taking his customers across to The Lovers' Walks are on the left bank. |
