Amongst Matlock's plans for celebrating Queen Victoria's Diamond
Jubilee was that "the Hall Leys will be laid out, a bridge
thrown over the Town Brook at Knowlestone Place, to below the Pig
Tor Rocks, and from there on to the extremity of the district, joining
that of Matlock Bath. The other side of the stream is also proposed
to be developed similarly[1]".
This coloured view of one of the walkways on the Pic Tor Promenade
that were created in 1903-4 replaces the black and white version
that was on another page. What looks like tree roots is rustic
fencing. |
