| Place: | Matlock |
| Property / Street / Road: | Carr Villa, Pope Carr Road |
| Date: | 1910 - 1914 |
| Description/Historical Information: | Two women outside the detached stone built house,
which had a blue slate roof and was described as substantial in 1913
when it was for sale. The house is raised above the level of the
road and has railings surrounding the small terrace. It says "Apartments" over
the door but the house name above to door is not readable. There
are large lumps of coal in the road, presumably delivered to the
property next door rather than to Carr Bank, which has a coal-hole;
it can be seen in the far end of the wall below the terrace. Access
to the terrace and front door was through the gate and from steps
at the side of the building closest to the camera (hidden by the
wall), as the railings surrounding the terrace do not touch the house
wall. Interestingly, although the house itself seems to have been
relatively newly built, the step under the gate (behind the coal)
is very worn. The age of this property is unknown but it is shown on the 1876-1880 1:2,500 O.S. Map of Derbyshire. Carr Villa was for sale in 1913 with Miss Tomlinson as the occupier but at the time of her death in 1940 she owned the house. |
