Advertisement for H. Buxton



Herbert Buxton ran his own "Museum" on South Parade, which he took over from his father John. Their Museum stood beside the River Derwent and the shop sold spar and marble ornaments to the tourists. Two photographs of the items he sold survive (see the link below). He bought the Switchback Railway in Matlock Bath's Derwent Gardens approximately three years after this advertisement was published.
