Peterborough is a city of rapid growth, and in just a short space of time, a lot has changed.
Some of the most iconic buildings in Peterborough – some which were major parts of the city skyline, others played a massive part in the city’s life – have now disappeared – or are disappearing – for ever.
Here we take a look back into the past at just a few of those buildings – what are your memories of them?
