"The Bluff" on Gough Hill Road The Peak RBL 25 - Circa 1971

Places shown in this photo: 
Bicton and Burrington [c.1899- ]
The Bracket / Grey Lodge / 30 Severn Road [????-2000]
Kirkendoa (2nd & current generation) [1948-2016]
Brockhurst [1880-????]
The Bluff - RBL 25 [1880-????]

I believe in 1971 when I took this photo that "The Bluff" (RBL 25) was The West German Consulate. It was just up Gough Hill Rd from Lysholt, The Chief Justice's House, and Clavadel where my family lived from 1970 through 1973.

It is now "under" the 28 Gough Hill Road development, completed in 2004, which is described as a "Prestigious development located on the Peak with 6 detached house units" by Carrot Home who were responsible for the Home Automation at that development.

North Point looking very different from today, with a Power Station and a wharf for loading and unloading containers. They're remembered in the local street names, Electrc Road and Wharf Road.
