by the 1960, the ruins of the Peak Hotel had been cleared away and the site was used as a bus stop and a playground.

Then, in 1989, the site was redevoped, together with Peak Mansions, to become the Peak Galleria.

Hi Annelise, please can I ask for a couple of edits: the 'Previous place(s) at this location:' field is just meant to list any buildings that were demolished to make way for the current building. So for the Peak Galleria, the list will show 'Peak Bus Terminus & playground', and Peak Mansions.

At some point in the future, this will let us build a timeline showing the buildings that have stood on certain spot, in the correct order. Something like a family tree, where 'Previous place(s) at this location:' for a building is similar to the parents of a person.

Then 'Photos that show this place' is meant to be for photos where you can literally see the current place. So the 1970 photo above would appear on the 'Peak Bus Terminus & playground' place, but not this one.

That will help features like the photo map work properly.

And finally, I think your fingers had a sudden burst of dyslexia with the 'Date Place completed:' above!

Thanks a lot, David

The Ratings Dept Urban booklet puts the build date of the Peak galleria at 1992. Any chance it can be changed from 1998?

I've updated the Completed Date from 1998 to 1992.
