What do you know about the History of the Pavilion?

Along side the unveiling of the Draft Plans for the Pavilion the Matlock Bath Pavilion Group is looking at the History of the Pavilion. Over the months that the Group has been in existence Group Historian, Charles Beresford, has been busy building up a history of the building. Many people have shared their experiences and stories about their stories of the Pavilion. This will be shared as part of the Open Days, which will be held in the Pump Room of the Pavilion on Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of June between 10am and 4pm; Saturday will be open until 6pm.The Group is attempting to build a repository of photographs, drawings, painting and peoples own personal accounts of how the Grand Pavilion may have played a part in their lives. Did you meet your partner at the Pav? Did you see live music? Have your first kiss?They will then look to use this ‘Memory Bank’ to tell the story of the Grand Pavilion through the years using a variety of methods, such as through their website or even in a book. Can you help us build a ‘Grand Pavilion Memory Bank’? Charles can be contacted at Lyndhurst, Brunswood Road, Matlock Bath. Tel.: 01629 56785. Gregor
