This photograph was taken from almost the same vantage point as Matlock Bridge & Bank, 1892 before the green fields were covered by houses. The picture must have been taken in the first decade of the 20th century as it is similar to others from that era. It is difficult to be accurate as the card is blank, so without a helpful postmark. The photograph is looking towards Hackney and shows Allen Hill, The Dimple, Imperial Road (bisected by the red chimney) with a short stretch of Edge Road - shown as a cul de sac at that time - from the point it joins Wolley Road / Imperial Road to it disappearing into a tree. It also includes a few buildings on Bakewell Road and Snitterton Road.

Below the line of houses on the top of the hill, which are on Cavendish Road just above Jackson Tor, is Jackson House. In both 1908 and 1916 Leonard Bramwell was running Jackson House as a hydropathic establishment^[1].

All Saints' Church is easily distinguished by the large grey roof. Part of Wolley Road is just above the red chimney and looks like an angular letter J, with the houses of Malpas Road off it to the left. Beyond that are the buildings around the Crabtree Inn and Hackney just goes off on the far left.
