In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Matlock Bridge like this:
MATLOCK-BRIDGE, a hamlet in Matlock parish, Derbyshire; on the river Derwent, and on the Manchester and Buxton railway, ½ a mile NW of Matlock village. It has a station on the railway, a post office under Matlock-Bath, and a Wesleyan chapel. A company was formed in 1866 to erect at it a hotel, a market-hall, and assembly-room; and the market-hall was opened in 1868.
Matlock Bridge is now part of DERBYSHIRE DALES District. Click here for graphs and data of how DERBYSHIRE DALES has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Matlock Bridge itself, go to Statistics.
