Matlock Church Lads' Brigade, founded 1914 by
Rev. J. B. Hyde, marching along Smedley Street, near their HQ. Staff Sergeant Frank Archibald
Durrant is at the back. The building on the left was the Church of
England Benefit Society, probably their HQ [also see VLA4991, VLA4992 and
VLA5223] and belonged to All Saints' Church. There is
a car park on the site today.
Behind the group is the junction with Rutland Street,
where M Wright & Sons shop was on the corner. Some of the bounday wall
on the corner still remains today. The roof line of Matlock House
Hydro / Rutland Court is visible above the buildings that then existed
on the corner. |
