Dating from before the first war, this postcard is very similar to the previous image. Here the shopkeeper (one of the Barnwells presumably) is standing outside the door of the watchmaker's shop which is on the left hand corner of the road. He is wearing a long white apron. A woman in a hat, green skirt and cream coloured blouse and carrying a folded parasol stands outside the Queens Hotel on the right of the picture. Half way down the road on the left hand side is an open carriage, travelling towards Matlock Bath. Almost directly opposite is the Market Hall building, with some wares stacked against one of the shop fronts.

This postcard was addressed to Mr C Wardman, Farmer, Horse Dale, Bonsall and was posted at Matlock. In the days before using telephones became commonplace, writing letters and postcards was the fastest way to communicate, with same day delivery locally as shown by the very unusual message!

"Sending churn up tonight Friday on bus leaving Matlock at 6.35. Fill to top. Take no notice of the Post Card".
