Peterborough's 17th Century Guidhall anchors one end of Cathedral Square, behind it the early 16th Century perpendicular gem that is St John the Baptist, the city's parish church. This square used to hold an ugly but profitable office building, home to one of the UK's largest insurance firms. The decision by Peterborough City Council to demolish it to create a city square between the Cathedral and the Guildhall is one of the bravest town planning decisions of 21st Century Britain.

The Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew
The West Front
The first abbey was built in Peterborough around 655AD, this was destroyed by a viking attack in 870AD. The Benedictines built a monastery on the site a hundred years later, the present building was begun in 1118 after the previous monastery was destroyed by fire two years earlier. The architecture is mainly Norman, along with Durham and Ely Cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England.
During the reformation of the monasteries the Benedictine monks where removed from Peterborough and the Abbey church was selected as the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Peterborough by Henry VIII in 1541.
Peterborough Cathedral is best known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed.

Cathedral Square,
Peterborough is a cathedral city in the east of England, known for its rich history dating back to the Bronze Age and as an important hub on the main rail line between London and Edinburgh. It is the administrative centre of a unitary authority district within Cambridgeshire.
Peterborough Cathedral is one of the finest Norman cathedrals in England. Founded as a monastic community in 654 AD, it became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

V2 60862 is running light engine past Peterborough station, it carries the headlamp code for a mineral of empty wagon train, perhaps it will reverse onto the train at Peter's left.
On the right an express has stopped, the train is under what remains of the roof, which is in very poor condition. In the foreground is a substantial sand drag which fortunately has not been needed for some time. The shutter speed was unable to freeze the pigeon but as it has been there since 1959 I will not Photoshop him out!
60862 was a Gresley V2 2-6-2, it was built at Darlington Works and entered service new to Gorton 13/06/1939, it was withdrawn 16/06/1963 and cut at Doncaster Works 27/11/1963. At the time of this picture it was a Kings Cross 34A based engine.
