I hadn't seen a photo taken from this angle before. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
It was taken looking east towards Gough Hill, probably from Mount Kellett Road.
Starting at 10 o'clock and going clockwise, the buildings are;
Stewart Terrace. The stepped row.
Dodwell Mansions. The tower block at the right end of 1.
Cheltondale. Above 1 & 2.
Slemish. On the right of 3.
Peak Police Station. On the right of 4.
Gough Hill Quarters. Two 2-storey houses on the skyline well to the right of 5.
No. 274 The Peak. Now No.71 Peak Road. Straight down from 6.
Ho Tung Gardens. Straight down from 7, partly hidden behind 9.
Dunnottar. Between 8 and the camera.
Peak School. Only a small part is visible on the left edge of the photo below 1.
White building. I think this is on the site formerly occupied by Stokes Bungalow. If so, its address in the 1950's would have been 261 The Peak, but I don't know its name.
I believe 5 & 10 are still standing. I'm sure 3, 4, 6, 8 & 9 have gone. Not sure about 1, 2, 7 & 11.

Corrections welcome, indeed probably necessary!
