Victoria Gap and Peak Tram 1890-1930

In science there is a term called data mining – extraction of new informations and interrelations from already existing data. I had the idea of image mining – using images on Gwulo for new (unreported) connections and timelines.

My special interests are buildings on Barker Road, so I chose from Gwulo photos of Victoria Gap and the Peak Tram with Barker Road on them.

Let’s start in 1890. This one was probably taken from Severn Road and shows the Peak Tram and Mount Austin.

Peak Tramway - 3.1, Hong Kong, 1983

Similar to http://gwulo.com/atom/23555, but "This next short sequence of two images shows the Peak Tramway from the same location - using two different lenses. The first, here, is a wide-angle view."

Peak Tramway - 3.2, Hong Kong, 1983

A photo taken from (quite likely) Barker Road. On the left-hand side is a house with a red roof, this is Villa Blanca (http://gwulo.com/node/5603).

Epworth Lodge is right-hand side of the tram station, for me it looks as if the house is without windows.

Text with this image: "The second of two images of the Peak Tramway from the same location, this one using a "normal" 50mm lens." (First one is http://gwulo.com/atom/23556)
