This is a wonderful collection of old photographs and information that takes you on a trip down memory lane.

A historic exhibition that tells you a story about some of the history of Matlock Bath dating back as early as 1786. A fascinating insight into the history of the very building that houses the Aquarium and Exhibitions.

Did you know the Thermal pool that is now home to our Carp collection, was once a very popular attraction for Victorians to bathe in ?

See pictures of horses and carts bringing visitors to Matlock Bath from neighbouring towns.

Can you remember the view down South Parade before the main road was widened?

How many Petrifying wells were there, and when was the Grand Pavilion built?

The answers to these and many more fascinating questions can be found in this very special Exhibition.
