‘It is a
picturesque sight to lounge in a sybaritic arm-chair, in a warm sitting room
and watch the fine feathery flakes as they float fantastically down and
beautify the brutal bricks and mortar, to see the gaunt and grimy
chimney-stacks grow fairy-like and spectral, and the bare boughs of black trees
clothed under a foliage of dazzling white.’
Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald, 5th
January 1878
