I recognise the cottages on Dale Road. They were for the quarry workers of
the then Greatorex's Quarry latterly Derbyshire Stone. Leaving Matlock after
the railway bridge , the Boathouse pub then some houses on the righthand
side. After a few hundred yards on the left is the ironbridge to Pic Tor
and Matlock Town footbrdge. Just after this on the right is a small road
where the cottages are situated. The quarry was just behind them in the
picture. Now a vehicle park I believe. I cannot remember who lived in the
cottages.
