Buxton townscape

View from "The Slopes" below the Town Hall, with the Old Hall Hotel (originally a prison for Mary Queen of Scots in the 1570s, much improved since) on the right, the early nineteenth century parish church in the background, and between them the twin domes of Frank Matcham's magnificent 1903 Opera House at the entrance to Pavilion Gardens.
