As mentioned in the earlier post on Napier's trams, the system lasted from 1913 to 1931 when the earthquake ended it. The Ahuriri route went over the Napier Bluff on a route up Shakespeare Road, along Waghorne and into Bridge Street and then to the terminus in Ridell Street. This view would have been taken about the time the trams commenced.
