Annelise posted this one already in 2010, but not as a separate image. It was reposted to show the rickshaw rank in front of the bank.

1890s Peak Tram with bridges

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 2021-12-23 00:14

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.
