Space⁴ brings 'Opening Doors to Hidden Heritage' to Peterborough, a new exhibition, devised and produced by Space⁴ with Heritage Lottery funding, giving a selection of the most historically interesting locations in and around Peterborough.

 

Some of the locations people may already be familiar with, while others may be discovering them for the first time. However, all show how culturally rich and historically significant many places in Peterborough are, which people see each day and may take for granted.

 

Each of the locations have a rich history and while some can look forward to a lively future, for others their future is uncertain and their past might soon be all we have to remember them by.

 

Manager of the Space4 Clifton Stewart said: "Space⁴ has a strong record of working with the communities of Peterborough and this project enabled us to use our expertise in a different and entirely visual way to highlight the diverse and rich heritage of Peterborough and the surrounding areas. I hope as many people as possible will take time out to open doors to their hidden heritage."

 

This exhibition promotes the website www.peterboroughhiddenheritage.org which will be going live in the next couple of weeks and a CD which is being made available to all schools in the Peterborough area.

 

The exhibition at the Space⁴ opened on Saturday 20 September and runs until the 13 October. Space⁴ is situated at the Peterborough Museum and is open from 10 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Saturday and 12 noon to 4 pm Sunday. For further information, call (01733) 864663.
