Tony Holmes Evening

Tony has a vast collection of Matlock Bath postcards. He gave us a new and fascinating talk called MATLOCK BATH NEW AND OLD with over 150 photographs. He compared present and past views of Matlock Bath to show how it had changed, such as the fate of the "Rutland Arms" and that changes to the building that now houses "Talisman".
Afterwards there was a lively discussion about the burgeoning tree population, which has made it difficult, in some cases, for him to re-create the same view now.
We had around 70 people listening and the Café was open. This meant that a good time was had by all.
