Another private collection. I'm not familiar with the Peak.

Could someone advise the earliest year and latest year of this photo, as well as the name of each building highlighted?

I believe this photo should be taken around c1887 although railway can be seen from the photo.

Thanks

Date picture taken (may be approximate):

You can add this photo to "places'

"the Eyrie" - 7 (and it's Belvedere

Eyrie
- 6)

#6 Police Station - 2

Haystack - 3

 

I think

Bishop's Lodge - 5

Merion - 4

Signalmans House - 9

 

Peak Tram makes it after 1888 - and the fact that we cannot see the Mt. Austin Hotel - means it is pre 1895.

HF,

The Peak today, a similar view taken from Severn Road, for comparison.  No doubt, 6 (Belvedere), 7 (The Eyrie), 8 (Weather Station) and 9 (Signalman's house) together with the Flagstaff further right in your photo are within the peak radio station today.
