This is yet another view of High Tor, with the River Derwent
at the foot of the rocky outcrop flowing away from the
camera towards Matlock Bath. The view down into the Dale
provides us with a better view of the wheelwright's premises[1] opposite
the entrance to Tor Cottage. There were gardens on the
river bank where the modern car park is today.
The nineteenth
century image of the Toll
Bar at Artists' Corner shows some
of the buildings next to Tor Cottage. |
