More about this scene
This classic view of Buxton from The Slopes was taken during its heyday as an inland spa created largely by the efforts of the 5th Duke of Devonshire. In the centre is the magnificent 154ft diameter dome of the Great Stables and Riding School, at the time the largest unsupported dome in the world, while to the right in the background is the Palace Hotel. In the right foreground is Buxton's famous Crescent, recently renovated but still awaiting a new use, and to the left are the Natural Baths and the Old Hall Hotel.
