A photo of Peak Mansions and Mount Kellett in the early Fifties. The Peak Cafe is visible in the foreground, and the ruins of the old Peak Hotel (which stopped operating in about 1936) can be seen on the left. Note that the top of Mount Kellett is intact; the top was removed later on when a reservoir (I think?) was built there.
