1924 Peak road

Taken from today's Mount Austin Road (formerly called Peak Road).  The smoke is from the upper terminus of the peak tram. The four coolies seem to carry a barrel or something like that.

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1924

Peak Mansions & Mount Kellett, c.1950

Image (external): 

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.
