Riber Castle, Four Mid-Nineteenth Century Engravings



Lynholmes/Hurst Farm



Matlock multiviews from
1945 onwards



" A Peep at Riber Castle, Matlock" is included under Matlock because the subject is in Matlock. The view, however, was taken from Matlock Bath - judging by the angle it was possibly from somewhere along Temple Walk. Some of the Starkholmes houses can be seen through the trees, clustered on the hillside below the Castle. The building dominates the skyline and was created by the mill owner and hydropathist John Smedley, who also left another, and equally prominent, building legacy in Matlock. His Hydro on Matlock Bank, however, has fared somewhat better than his Castle.
