Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
1915
This picture is of a class or group at St Joseph's School probably taken around 1915. The pupil on the right of the picture with the green ring around him may be one of my uncles as the snap is in our family collection. However, if anybody can identify anybody or has anything to say about the picture I would be interested to hear. <Read more ...>
I'm guessing 1910 as the date for this postcard, but corrections are welcome.
The excellent 1912 map (thanks to the anonymous submitter) shows what we're looking at. In the foreground is Chamberlain Road (called 'Peak Road' today), sloping down to the left, before curving round to the right and out of sight. Just above that is Treverbyn with the large arched window, and behind that we can see the back of the Peak Hotel. Further up the slope to the right is Formosa. <Read more ...>
