The title may say this is Matlock, but it is a view of Matlock Bath's
North Parade and Promenade. The card focuses the eye on the unknown
Edwardian lady and her daughter in the centre of the shot, but
the real subject is the Parade and its buildings constructed of
local stone. There were shops or eating places on the ground floor
and living accommodation above. The large church was the Wesleyan
Methodist Church, though the building has not been used for religious
purposes for a long time. A favourite pastime was boating on the
river Derwent and there a sign that boats are for hire from the
landing stage below the Promenade.
