Great Petrifying Well,
Matlock Bath.
A host of articles left in
the well to become covered with water scale, and so
"petrified". Most are unrecognizeable, but I think I have spotted
the list against each photo.
Matlock Bath.
The top stereo photo (205a) is by J Siddon, 4 Clodeshall Road, Saltley, Birmingham, "Agent for stereoscopes and stereoscopic views".
The lower stereo (205b) was kindly donated by Vance Nelson of Canada. The resolution is good, and one of the objects looks like a sabre-tooth tiger to me!
The postcard (205c), also donated by Vance Nelson, has rather poor resolution.
Another postcard (205d) seems to have several different objects from (205c).
