Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire,
England. A former spa town, it lies on the River Derwent,
and has prospered from both the hydropathy industry
and the mills constructed on the river. It was an
unimportant collection of small villages - Matlock
Town, Matlock Green, Matlock Bridge, Matlock Bank
— until thermal springs were discovered in 1698.
The population increased rapidly in the 1800s, largely
due to hugely popular hydros being built. At one stage
there were around twenty hydros, most on Matlock Bank.
The largest was built in 1853 by John Smedley. This
closed in the 1950s, when it became home to Derbyshire
County Council. Matlock is also home to the Derbyshire
Dales District Council headquarters. In 1893 a cable
tramway was built along Bank Road, from Crown Square
at Matlock Bridge to Smedley Street, where Smedley's
Hydro was situated. Conceived by Job Smith, the tram
was inspired by San Francisco's famous cable cars,
and cost £20,000. When it was built it was the
steepest tramway in the world at a gradient of 1 in
5½, and it rose 300 feet. The fare was tuppence
up, penny down. It closed in 1927 after losing business
to cars and buses. The tram shelter from Crown Square
is now in Hall Leys Park, a large Victorian park next
to the river which opened in 1898. The park now boasts
a miniature railway, bandstand and a boating pond
with the oldest running powered boats in Britain.
Matlock lies at the south eastern edge of the Peak
District, and is twinned with Eaubonne in France.
Matlock Bath lies immediately south of the town
