Description
Times: 7.30pm

In the summer of 2006 we launched a new themed walk that explores the dark and macabre part of our past - the Peterborough Crime & Punishment walk.

On this tour your guide is a Victorian Policeman who will lead you around the city centre and tell tales of Peterborough's grim past. Find out where the city's gaols were and about the appalling conditions inside. See where public hangings and floggings took place - Peterborough was one of the last places in mainland Britain to have public floggings. Discover the history of the city police force, find out where someone really did read the riot act, and find out about some of our most notorious criminals...

PLEASE NOTE: This is only a guide to ticket availability, please call us on (01733) 343329 for up to date information.
