Matlock Photographic Memories

Another view from Cromford Bridge of Willersley Castle, this time seen peeping above the trees. A stone on the bridge marks the spot where Benjamin Heywood went straight into the river as he returned home on horseback in 1697, and emerged unscathed.

Another general view of Matlock Bath, looking up towards the wooded Heights of Abraham on the skyline. The Heights of Abraham were named by a soldier who fought with General Wolfe at his famous victory at Quebec in 1759.
