Bispham, Blackpool, 1930s

Bispham, Blackpool, 1930s
The shot seems to have been taken from what is now the Queens [sic] Mansions Holiday Apartments, on the corner of Red Bank Road: cf. maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Bispham Station&hl=en&ll... .
Scanned from a small print in a family album; Bispham tram station, just out of shot to the left (but seen in one of the other photos) was built in 1932, but the only other guides to the date are the cars and the apparent age of my mother (born in 1919) in some of the other shots. I would be very interested to know if anyone can identify or date the trams.
The photograph seems to have been taken from a building that has been recently completed (if, indeed, it's not still under construction!) From its appearance, the Queens Mansions building might have been new around the time that this photo was taken, although the hipped roofed building in the foreground has vanished.
