Posted 1907. Addressed to: Miss Amy Coupe, Whitewell Vale,
Opposite Fire station, Waterfoot, Nr Manchester. From:
Elizabeth at Smedleys Memorial, Matlock.
Royal Hotel, Matlock Bath
The Royal Hotel replaced the Old Bath Hotel about 1878,
but was destroyed by fire in 1929. The staff and boarders
appear in the 1901 and
1891 Census.
Below the road, Derwent Gardens holds entertainment for the Plebs.
Good views of the Royal Hotel, the Old Pavillion behind,
the Switchback (left) and a small stage show (right)
with a fair size crowd in front. A small queue waits to
go into the Switchback, and 4 people wait to take their
seats on the rollercoaster. Yet another queue waits for
something at the top of the steps. A large flag hangs on
a tall pole by the switchback shed.
