What’s in a Name

Sun 10th June 2012 2:00 pm - 3:45 pm

We walk past street names so many times a day, that, often, we don’t stop to think what’s behind the name. 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?

Find out the reasons for all these names and more, including streets that no longer exist, on the What’s in a Name tour.

The tour starts from outside Peterborough Museum. Tickets can be pre-bought from the Destination Centre, or bought on the day from the tour guide.
