Claremont House, Matlock
Claremont House (at 68 Cavendish Street) was built about 1858
by Charles Rowland (1813-1902), a local business man. Born 1813 in
Burton-on-Trent,
he ran a successful business there for 18 years. His health failed and
he came to Matlock to find if John Smedley and Hydropathy could help.
Rowland ran a hydro in Coton-in-the-Elms (near Burton) for two years,
then came to Matlock and opened the magnificent Rockside Hydro in 1862.
He was also chairman of the Local Board for many years, Director of
the Waterworks, and vice Chairman of the Cable Tramway Company. He lived
well into his late eighties and enjoyed good health in later life.
Charles Rowland can be found in the Census for:
1871,
1881,
1891 and
1901.
Later Claremont became an old person's home.
