The Ferry at Matlock Bath
The public ferry crossed the River Derwent, from the built-up side
on the left, to "Lovers Walk" on the right, among the trees and up
against the towering cliff face, (see Photo 185).
There also seem to be skiffs for hire moored in the foreground. Imagine
how the little boy with starched collar would be treated at school today!
There seems to be a rope across the River to carry small items.
Everyone wore a hat, young and old, male and female.
