Looking Back: A Peterborough legend in Bridge Street
A rare picture from the early 1990s in Bridge Street of local legend Michael Ross aka Nobby, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.
He was a Scotsman and former teacher who lived in a bus shelter on Oundle Road for many years.
He survived terrible winters but was well fed by the locals and practiced golf in Ferry Meadows.
He died in 2020 but fortunately his latter years were more comfortable in his sheltered accommodation where he enjoyed his garden and painting.
Who was the lady chatting to Nobby, seen with his tobacco tin in hand, in front of Woolies, Marks and Sencer and Halfords?
