Winster is a well-preserved Derbyshire village west of Matlock. The vantage point of this composite photo is The Flat at the top of the lower branch of East Bank. It's just southwest of the Old Lead Mines near the centre of this 1899 map. Until the Leacroft Road estate was built in the mid 20th century, Winster comprised the three roads shown in the 1899 map. The most important, Main Street, is in the north of the village and runs east/west. South of Main Street the land rises towards the high ground known as Winster Bank. Two roads that lead south from Main Street and towards the Bank are known as West Bank and East Bank. This shot looks north so West Bank is to the left and East Bank is to the right. About half way up the hill, East Bank divides into two with one branch leading southwest and ending up as The Flat – the point from which this photo was taken. The other branch initially leads southeast but soon swings right and continues in a westerly direction until it joins West Bank at the point marked as Winster Bank on the map. The places that I've identified in notes include the tower of St John the Baptist's Church, Birchover Wood, the Dower House, West Bank House, Winster Hall, the Burton Institute and the former Tallow Factory.

"The property was nice inside but the room we had was in the old part wasn’t very clean a lot of dust furniture tatty curtains hanging off the rail water stains on ceiling paint all flaking on the walls in the window and a lot of cold coming from the windows really bad stains on the mattress but the towels and bedding was very clean left the portable heater on all nite to keep the room warm"
