View to the tower of Smedley's Hydro Seen from Wellington Street. Smedley's Hydro was a hydropathic facility developed in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the 1950's the old building was taken over by Derbyshire County Council, becoming the organisations administrative hub. The mist in the valley was related to a high pressure weather system settling over the north of England. The illuminated building on the corner was part of the old Matlock tram depot.
