Buxton - The Gardens, is a Photochrome image from around 1905, of the Pavilion Gardens and shows a cascade on the River Wye running through the town. This image today is difficult to photograph, as its taken from just outside the gardens, and today plant growth and trees have now just about blocked this view. The cascade, large stone and bridge in the background are all still in place. I followed this river up through the gardens, just in case they had two similar cascades, and this was the only place that this could be. The white froth effects is obtained by using a time exposure but to get the same effects you would need more water flow than I saw in August 2010, so perhaps a winter or early spring photo would be better, with both more water and hopefully less leaves and plants. The water coming over this cascade disappears out or sight, and reappears some way away at grid reference SK063735.
