Peak Tram c.1895. Union Church and it's Manse left (east) of the tram tracks, no building on the right (west). To the right of the church one can see the Bowen Road bridge over the Peak Tram.

The photo was taken from the lower terminus, the Peak Tram bridge in the foreground is likely the one over Tramway Lane as it was before reconstruction in this area.

Nice to see an early photo of the main and diversionary Peak Tram tracks from the Lower Terminus. I think the tram bridge seen above Union Church is the one at Bowen Road (flat bridge with arches). A view here
