year. Leeds born Mr Basquil was in Matlock in 1901. His parents were Irish and in 1881 the family were living in

The Crown Hotel in 1910, was 'replete with
every modern convenience for visitors and commercials.' There
was a motor garage and inspection pit.
William Tanzer was the proprietor, and had advertised in Kelly's
(1908) Directory. He was still there in 1916. The gardens are
long gone but the building is unmistakable.
