This article appears in Volume V17, Page 889 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MATLOCK , a market town in the western parliamentary division of
Derbyshire
 , England, on the river Derwent, 17 M. N. by W. of Derby on the Midland railway. Pop. (1901), of urban
district
  of Matlock, 5979; of Matlock Bath and Scarthin Nick, 1819. The entire township includes the old
village
  of Matlock, the commercial and manufacturing
district
  of Matlock
Bridge
 , and the fashionable health resorts of Matlock Bath and Matlock Bank. The town possesses
cotton
 , corn and
paper
  mills, while in the vicinity there are stone-quarries and lead mines. A peculiar local industry is the manufacture of so-called " petrified " birds' nests, plants, and other objects. These are steeped in water from the
mineral
  springs until they become encrusted with a calcareous deposit which gives them the
appearance
  of fossils. Ornaments fashioned out of spar and stalactites have also a considerable sale.
