There was much excitement in Peterborough at the weekend, when the new Odeon cinema opened in Queensgate for the first time.
However, it was not the first time an Odeon Cinema has graced Peterborough’s city centre.
Those with long memories will recall how the New Theatre – which was also known as The Broadway Theatre – was an Odeon Cinema in a previous life, opening nearly 90 years ago.
But the theatre is not the only Peterborough building with a hidden past – here we look at some of the others – from old jails to war-time hospitals – which now have a very different purpose to when they originally opened.
What buildings have you spotted in Peterborough which now have a different use to ‘the good old days?’
