Description: Harry Hardwick is the gentleman shown seated. He had one arm (the other was lost in an industrial accident, and with his compensation, he started a brass foundry in Matilda Street, Sheffield. The boy standing is Walter Hardwick; behind him to the left is Miss Sarah Hardwick. The Hardwicks lived on Cemetery Road, Dronfield. Next to her is Nora Timperley of Timperley's Farm, Holmes Weld. On the far left is Alfred Dunham, the local undertaker. Behind Harry Hardwick is Mrs Baxby, Beryl Chetwynd and Edith Hardwick, Harry's youngest daughter (information supplied by a Dronfield resident in her 90's).The choir were on an outing to Buxton and are posed in front of the Pavilion Gardens. The Pavilion Gardens, which were built by Edward Milner in 1871, lie behind the attractive Opera House (by Frank Matcham in 1903) in Buxton. Milner worked as Paxton's assistant for the erection of the Crystal Palace in London, and the design of the gardens is possibly based on his work here. Indeed, Pevsner believes that the Serpentine Walks were laid out by Paxton himself. The gardens were enlarged in 1875 with the octagonal Concert Hall by R R Duke.
