Another late nineteenth century photograph of Matlock Bridge and Bank. The picture was probably taken to publish as a postcard; it was taken shortly after the previous image.

Two things stand out, the first being the excellent view of an unaltered Bridge Hall embowered in trees and with a formal garden at its front. This building was later extended and became Matlock's Town Hall. The second point of interest, which dates it a little later than Gertie's postcard (the previous image) - though probably by not much more than a year or so - is that a house at the corner of Lime Grove Walk and New Street as well as the one next door to it are in the course of erection. It looks as if a house on St. Joseph's Street is also being built. They are not even started on the previous picture.

There also appears to be a line of small trees on the opposite side of the road from the partly built properties - presumably these were the limes that gave the Walk its name. They are not on the previous image.
