Rockside Hydro History
Rockside was built in 1862 at the height of the Victorian fashion for hydropathic treatments. Built by Charles Rowland of Burton-on-Trent, Rockside quickly became one of the most popular and successful Hydros in Matlock. The building was altered and extended by the eminent architects Barry Parker and Sir Raymond Unwin in1903-6, who added the twin turreted building we see today.
Rockside continued to prosper with a succession of owners, through the years the establishment offered high quality accommodation, good food, gentle exercise and a range of hydropathic treatments. The four acres of pleasure grounds had both hard and grass Tennis courts, Croquet lawn, Bowling and Putting greens and gentle walks through the Gardens. Indoor activities included Billiards and Snooker, Badminton, Table Tennis and indoor Polo and an extensive Library. There were concerts and dancing in the Ballroom which claimed to have one of the finest sprung dance floor in the Midlands.
At the outbreak of World War II Rockside was taken over by the R.A.F. As Hospital for battle fatigued Air Crew. At the end of the war the building was sold to Derbyshire County as part of Matlock teacher training College. Rockside being the ladies living accommodation and College library. After falling into disrepair, the building was transformed into luxury apartments.
The Atkins apartment is named after William Atkins a proprietor of Rockside at one time and he also owned the Atkins Hydro at Darley Dale Now St Elphins Retirement village.
