Nostalgia: The day Wombles came to Peterborough

The lovely photograph of the girls meeting a ‘Womble’ was snapped in Cathedral Square, in Peterborough, during the 1980s.

The Womble was collecting funds for a worthy cause but who were the two girls and the women in the background?

The photograph was snapped during the early part of the decade.

The young girl in the colourful coat was standing next to a memorial that once adorned Bridge Street, Peterborough, during the 1990s.

However, the cube shaped memorial was not popular with Peterborough folk.

As a result, at some stage the memorial was broken up.

But the stones are now protected in the courtyards of Peterborough City Hospital.
