I just wondered how long everybody has lived here. How far back does your memories of Peterborough extend? I go back too far!!! (as you may have noticed on...
All my life and am still irritated every time I go into town by what the Development Corporation did to the town centre. That ghastly Queensgate should never...
Sorry, still not fully conversant with these groups. I just wondered if anyone thought that the Development Corporation was a benefit to Peterborogh at all....
Just to let everyone know that on May 19 there will be reenactors in the city centre and St John's Church, Peterborough's Parish Church, will be celebrating...
Marion, I hardly remember town before Queensgate, and we rarely visit, but I do have happy memories of the older style town. In my opinion, Peterborough is...
Christine, I've been here my whole life so my memories go back 38 years - and considering I only admit to being 21 thats no mean feat!! LOL Jayne ... From:...
Jayne, Have you found the secret of time travel and if so can I borrow your time machine. I ask for one every Christmas but the best I have had so far is a...
Haha Marion, no secret of time travel here, just growing old disgracefully. I too have the Tardis money box, I keep hoping David Tennant will come out of it...
Does anybody remember the old power station near the river or anyone who worked there? My dad worked there until 1969 when he moved to National Carriers...
I hardly go into town unless I can't avoid it. Usually go around the outside of Queensgate. In fact I usually stick to the North end, Westgate and Market, so...
Just to say sorry that I have not been active on the group this week but I have had quite severe family difficulties to attend to - mum was very poorly for a...
Or a link to Peterborough Memories on the pbuk site? Pbuk seems to have gone off at a tangent with 'for sale' posts - relevant discussions on relevant sites? ...
I think you ought to promote this group a bit more Marion. I would love to talk about Peterborough Memories with other people here, rather that on PBUK which...
Christine, I don't remember the cattle market, but have heard lots of lovely tales from my dad who used to help out there (or maybe hinder more like??) when he...
... through PBUK. My husband and I ,and families, have lived in Peterborough all our lives, so have lots of memories of all the changes. Thanks Brenda...
-Well, Jayne, the cattle market was as suggested in 'Cattle Market Road', behind Tesco. Just about where the multi storey carpark, and the general market is...
Hi Brenda - dare I ask 'how long' is all of your lives? Only a few more years to go for my bus pass!! What parts of Peterborough have you lived in? Weren't...
... I have 3 years to go before my bus pass! I retired early last March, as Peter, my husband is 66 this year, retired early on illness. I have lived all over-...
Yes, I know I should promote this group a bit more but I have been sidetracked by family matters over the last two weeks. Anyway, I agree that PBUK is getting...
A picture of the market place around, oh I don't know, late 50s maybe Marion ... Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo! Mail....
That sounds interesting. I think it was the rabbits and chickens that Dad helped with mostly, although he did talk of himself and a friend walking some cows...
I have sent everyone a picture of this in an email but don't think it is being accepted by Yahoo because it might be too big. So I have posted it in a picture...

... Barbara Woolley, also for memories of the cattle market, as I know he used to go there a lot, he is a bit older than me! He is severely dyslexic, so I will...
Lovely Photo of Market Square, looking through the Butter Cross, Marion. Great to see the Gates' Memorial in its rightful place too. Just as I remember it...
