Looking Back: Remembering Rivergate's redevelopment
Here are the latest selection of fascinating pictures from reader Andy Cole showing Peterborough development in the 1980s.
Andy said: “These pictures are from June 1988 of the Rivergate site taken from the Town Bridge.
“Note the tunnels in the embankment, they are the water outfalls from the old power station.

No doubt the big advert on the wall for Viva La Rock will bring back many memories.
The other pictures show some of the retained shop fronts and retained buildings.
Many thanks to Andy for sharing his pictures.
