Find out how the railways changed
Peterborough, see one of the oldest railway bridges in the country
and learn where the second railway station used to be. Find
out what life was like in the Victorian town, what people used to
do in their spare time and why Peterborough was one of the top
places for playing quoits.
Learn about the many pubs - and the temperance
bars where drinking was banned. See how industry changed the city
and how Peterborough got a reputation for quality engineering.
Hear about how the Volunteer Fire Brigade - the oldest in the
country - came about, and what sort of treatment you could expect
at the Peterborough Infirmary, today the Museum.
Take a trip back to Victorian
Peterborough.
