William KNOWLES 1837-1901+
William KNOWLES was born in Darley, son of George and Sarah.
William became Head Gardener at the Winter Gardens in Smedley's
Hydro in Matlock. The Winter Gardens was like a very large greenhouse,
and can be seen on the left of the main building in these two
photos: X151, X182
William posed for a stereo photo, from which this photo is taken.
The Winter Gardens were built by the author's GGFather William

The photo was sent by Brian Temple, who collects old stereoscopic
photographs. He bought this one at a local antiques fair, he says
it seems to be home made. William looks about 50, dating the photo to 1887.
