The view from the Heights of Jacob, looking down on the River Derwent
and North Parade, has been a popular subject for postcards. It is
of Matlock Bath in the early summer, judging by the freshness of the
greenery. This shot was taken from lower down the hillside than the
one taken in 1911 (see menu bar). The photographer was standing just
above the bottom of Orchard Road, and behind the Temple Hotel. The
Temple is the white building, bottom right. Waterloo Road, with Belle
Vue House and Waterloo House, winds up the hillside centre left until
it meets the top of Holme Road beside the Round House. |
No publisher's name is provided but the card was posted on 3 Aug 1908
at Matlock Bath and sent to Miss Perry who was staying at Rhydymnoyn,
near Mold.
