Photographs from Rowsley in Derbyshire and the Peak District

The village of Rowsley in Derbyshire is split into parts. Great Rowsley, or Rowsley South is situated on the A6 Matlock to Bakewell road and Little Rowsley on the side road to Chatsworth.

The Peacock Hotel in the centre of the main part of Rowsley is an impressive mid 17th century building, popular with anglers fishing the rivers Wye and Derwent. It was originally built for a John Stevenson, an agent to the Manners family at nearby Haddon Hall, and the pediment above the doorway still retains the inscription 'John Stevenson 1652'. Rowsley's other hotel, the Grouse and Claret, was formerly known as the Station Hotel. It was built after the arrival of the railway to Rowsley in 1849. Read more at Rowsley
