At the end of October 1930 Chatsworth Hydro was bought, following an unsuccessful auction^[1].
The new owners re-launched their hydro and produced this sixteen page "Tariff Souvenir", published by Bemrose of Derby, after the building had been completely redecorated.

The brochure's pages are:

To the left of the building are two large statues.
Please get in touch if you know anything about them.

The Recreation Room, with its piano, radio and Lloyd Loom occasional chairs and tables, was the room running along the front of the ground floor. It looks like a conservatory from outside. Photos indicate that this was not part of the original building and we can see the large beam and the supports where it was subsequently extended. There are two cupolas, which would have improved the natural light.

Although they are not very clear, the properties in the distance are on Wellington Street, on Rutland Avenue (then Industrial Road)
and going down the hill on Rutland Street.

The "magnificent dining hall and ballroom"^[2].
A new dining room was added to the hydro in 1906^[3]. It spans two storeys and was well lit with natural light as there are additional porthole style windows in the barrel-vaulted ceiling as shown above. The photograph also appears to show external doors and windows as an indoor feature.
Of note is the stained glass in the arched windows. There was also a large tiled mirror on the left, although we cannot see it here.
The mirror, and what is reflected in it, can be see in the Matlock Training College Brochure 1946-47

The hydro was partly redecorated once more during Dec1937 and Jan 1938^[4].

Readers will have noticed a number of quotations - some funny, some sarcastic and some wise - on the booklet's pages and may be forgiven for thinking that it looks as is someone had used a "Dictionary of Quotations" rather frequently. The origins of a few have been checked:

Inside cover: "A mind content both crown and kingdom is" by Robert Greene (1558–1592) from Poems of Sentiment: VI. Labor and Rest.

Page 6: "The best physicians are Dr Diet Dr Quiet and Dr Merryman". Although it was later said to be a quote from Jonathan Swift,
its origins are much earlier - 1099.

Page 8: "If you would like to know the value of money Go - try borrow some" is quotation from the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.

Page 13: "Some [folks] are wise, some are otherwise", Tobias Smollett (1721-1771).
