The Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Towering view
Today’s Looking Back pictures are a random collection of Peterborough views, but what I love about them is they capture some of the variety that goes to make up a modern city, yet one with much history.
The picture top left shows the sculpture which was placed outside the offices ofRoyal Life in Lynch Wood.
The photograph below it is of the city’s first electricity station at what is now Rivergate.
The bottom picture shows a little seen view of the exterior of Longthorpe Tower.
The picture top right is taken fromLong Causeway and shows Hereward Centre onthecornerof Broadwayand Midgate.
The next photograph taken in 1988 shows the Lawson Avenue shops in Stanground.
The last picture was taken in 1993 and shows Paston church and the nearby flowerfilled roundabout.
