Peterborough Telegraph Review of the Year: September and October - Great Eastern Run, Monopoly revealed - and dogs take a splash at the Lido

Autumn arrived with a bang in Peterborough, as one of the biggest events of the year took over the city centre.

The Great Eastern Run took place in October, and thousands of runners took to the streets, raising a huge amount for charity – and taking on the challenge of the half marathon, or the Anna’s Hope Fun Run.

The big reveal of the Peterborough Monopoly Set took place – and it was not a surprise to see Peterborough Cathedral take the prestigious ‘Mayfair’ spot. However, many charities and community organisations were also celebrated on the board for their work in the city.

The weather took a turn for the worse, with floods and heavy rain hitting the city, causing serious disruption.

There was also a sad good bye to Rev Carol Avery BEM. Rev Avery was much loved in Peterborough for her work at the church, and also as a charity and community campaigner.

She was brought to Peterborough Cathedral in a horse drawn carriage for her funeral, which was attended by scores of people.

The future of Peterborough Lido is currently in question – and it closed for the final time in 2024 with a special session allowing dog owners to let their beloved pets have a dip.
