Why are so many streets in Peterborough called gates?
Cumbergate, Cobden Street, Wheelyard where did they get their names?
Why is Peterborough even called Peterborough?
Our guide will take you through city streets, exploring the origins of the names and giving a fascinating insight into the history of Peterborough through our streets and their changing uses over the centuries.
You'll also discover the story of those streets that no longer exist, and the people and trades that have given their names to the city today.
