Re: Peak Tram
The photo shows the Peak Tram from Barker Road to the Upper Terminus. We have another photo on Gwulo showing the same view.
I think the same negative was used for both. Therefore the date of the b/w photo should be more 1900s, or even later. It shows Mount Austin Barracks which were built in 1897. Behind the Barker Road Bridge over Peak Tram is Glenshiel which was built in the early 1900s. There is no roof above the station, so it is definitely before 1919.
