Charlie Wildgoose ... senior

The link below should take you to a photo of my grandfather, Charlie Wildgoose, standing beside a binder being pulled by a pair of horses. 

I rather like this.

Matlock Bath ~ an old black and white photograph

During my legal 'career' clients got to know that I was interested in local history and photography and some kind souls used to hand me photographs and books etc that they thought I might like ... rather than dump them in the bin. So there was an upside to the law.

Here's an interesting black and white image [scanned from a photograph I was given] which was taken I believe on the main road passing through Matlock Bath, about five miles from here.

Matlock Bath, Derbyshire

I have the feeling that these buildings have gone though I think I saw them before they were demolished. Who knows someone might come along and tell me they are still there.

Whilst this may not be of much interest outside our immediate area I thought that it might be of passing interest to one or two of you.

If anyone has any information as regards this photograph I would be pleased to hear from you.

On the back of the photograph someone has written "WALKERS (PLUMBERS ETC.)"

 It's over to you ...
