Derbyshire Revisited Photographic Memories

Hall Leys Park and Pleasure Gardens were created when the riverside site, formerly water meadows, was purchased by the town council in 1889. It forms an important green space in the centre of the town. Riber Castle stands on the skyline, as it does in so many views of Matlock.
