Looking Back: How Peterborough's Key Theatre looked when it opened 51 years ago

Here is Peterborough’s Key Theatre back in 1973 as it neared completion ready to open on November 26 – almost 51 years to the day!

The theatre on the Embankment, which will present Snow White as its panto next month, looks very different now, though, having been given a major refurbishment in 2004 costing £1.5m – many times what it cost to build in the 70s.
