Descriptive gazetteer entries

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.
