A Valentine's 'Colourtone' Series postcard, postmarked 12 June 1923, with a red one penny George V stamp, and titled 'Quadrant from Terrace Road, Buxton;'. The building right foreground (7 Terrace Road) is, today, The Source Cafe. The glass window beyond (at the corner of Hardwick Street and Terrace Road) is now part of the Green Pavilion Florist shop. The trees left of shot are part of the Slopes Park and Pleasure Grounds. The Quadrant is the street centre background, the Cavendish Arcade on the left side and houses with ground floor shops on the right. The 122 room Palace Hotel, dating to 1868, is a prominent feature on the hill centre background. Buxton's mineral waters were known to the Romans. The 5th and 6th Dukes of Devonshire turned Buxton into a spa town to rival Bath.
