1890s Peak Tram with bridges

Unusual view onto the lower part of the Peak Tram, more to the west than the "usual photos".

Photo taken after 1892 when the MacDonnell Road bridge over Peak Tram [1892- ] was finished. Likely not much later than 1893 as the only building visible is Union Church (3rd generation) [1891-c.1944]. May Road bridge hasn't been built yet, it's from 1907.

The Tramway Managers House, also known as the Tramway Station House, was built on Rural Building Lot (RBL) 80 situated adjacent to, and just down the track from, the Engine House at the Upper Terminus of the Peak Tram, as shown in this extract from a 1924 map.

Photo taken from the MacDonnell Road Bridge over the Peak Tram. Taken before 1949 (re-building of Union Church) . Ruins of St. George's House are right of the Peak Tram, and at the bare place uphill stood Union Church. Similar view here:
