A photograph by Mr. John
William Hilder[1],
dating from about 1900,
used in a booklet about the New Bath Hotel (see the previous
page). It was taken at the edge of the Cumberland Field[2],
quite close to the Wapping, and looks both across to Cat
Tor and down into the valley. Holy Trinity Church is on the
left and there is then a group of larger buildings that includes
the New Bath Hotel.
The row of terraced houses on the right are on Derby Road
and were then known as Woodland Terrace.
