This week’s main picture is a wonderful view of a street scene on Broadway taken in 1921 with some magnificent vehicles on display.

But where exactly on Broadway is it? Let me know.

The next picture is of Cowlin’s garage in Millfield. Does anybody know the date?

The photograph of one of Peterborough’s most iconic buildings - Thorpe Hall, but can you help me date it?

Finally, we have a picture from more modern times – the Odeon cinema on Broadway taken in 1991. It was reborn as the Broadway Theatre and is is now Peterborough Theatre.

If you have any information or memories about any of the pictures please contact [email protected]
