Matlock is situated in Derbyshire, on the edge of the Peak District National
Park, about 20 miles north of Derby. Until the 1830's Matlock was a hamlet
whose principal industry was agriculture with lead mining and quarrying as
subsidiary activities. The building of the mills at Cromford, by Richard
Arkwrighrt in the late 18th century provided some employment for Matlock
people but it was John Smedley, born 1803, who established Hydrotheraphy in
Matlock and made it one of the most celebrated centres for the treatment of
ailments with water theraphy, in the country.
Some of the other attractions in the more immediate vicinity are, Arkwrights
Mill at Cromford, Gullivers Kingdom at Matlock Bath, Heights of Abraham at
Matlock Bath, Lead Mining Museum at Matlock Bath and the Red House Stables
and Carriage Museum at Darley Dales.
