Matlock Disability
The UFindUs disability directory is a vital source for those who are suffering from a severe or mild disability or for the families who are caring for a loved one with a disability. The directory provides listings of suppliers for disability equipment that can be essential and people that are able to provide support and advice as disability is often a complex process in receiving the correct information on civil rights and help that can be available when needed. As a disabled person you should find out about your rights and what can be provided for you, the disability directory can provide you with information. If you are seeking Children's respite care or mobility equipment and accessories you can access listings from the disability directory.
About Matlock - show infohide info
Matlock is a town in the county of Derbyshire. It was formerly a spa townon the River Derwent, and prospered from hydropathy and mills which both used the river. At one stage, the town had 20 hydros, on the banks of the Derwent. The largest was built in 1853, and closed in the 1950's; the building is now home of Derbyshire County Council. The town formerly had a cable tram system inspired by San Francisco's system. The system was closed in 1927, as it lost out to bus and car transportation. The tram shed still stands in Hall Leys Park. Also in the park is a miniature railway, bandstand, and the oldest motor boats in the UK. The town is served by trains to Derby on the Hope Valley Line, and the town is also home to a section of preserved rail ('Peak Rail') between Matlock and Rowsley. The town used to have services to Manchester via Buxton, however the line to Buxton was closed during the Beeching era.
