Biography of artist


Henry Knowles offered to transfer the land known as the Hall Leys to the public in February 1898 and in 1903/4 the Urban District Council built both the quarter mile long long asphalt promenade and opened up the Pic Tor Promenade. The 7¾ acres were laid out as recreation grounds in 1907[1].

This postcard is undated but is from an oil painting by Henry Hadfield Cubley, an artist who lived in Matlock Bath at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century.
