There is the darker side to Peterborough’s history. All manner of incredible events have occurred in the city—Roman occupations; Saxon murders and miracles; riots and revolts; battles, diseases, disasters, and plagues. Including more than 60 illustrations, and with the history of institutions such as the prisoner-of-war camps of the Napoleonic era and the slums and workhouses of the Victorian age, this book will ensure that you’ll never see the city in the same way again.
