MATLOCK BATH

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

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MATLOCK BATH , one and a half miles
south
  of Matlock, having a
separate
  railway station, overlooks the narrow and precipitous gorge of the Derwent, and stands in the midst of
woods
  and cliffs, deriving its name from three medicinal springs, which first became celebrated towards the close of the 17th
century
 . They were not known to the Romans, although lead-
mining
  was carried on extensively in the
district
  in the 1st and znd centuries A.D. The mean temperature of the springs is 68 F. Extensive grounds have been laid out for public use; and in the neighbourhood there are several fine stalactite caverns.
Sheltered under the high moorlands of
Darley
 , MATLOCK BANK has grown up about a mile north-
east
  of the old
village
 , and has become celebrated for the number and excellence of its hydropathic establishments. A tramway, worked by a single cable, over a gradient said to be the steepest in the world, affords easy communication with Matlock
Bridge
 .
