The stunning facade of the walkie-talkie building at 20 Fenchurch Street, London, the parallel lines of its exterior towering off into the sky. I've got loads of images of this, it looked so impressive in the afternoon sun.
The Peterborough Hotel was the first hotel built in the town. Originally the Petersburg Hotel, it was built as a single storey building in 1881 by Sara and Dunstan after Mr Jonathon Hoar was granted a license.
Reports of the time say opening night witnessed some fearful excesses on the part of the navvies who were building the new railway line. After the house was closed they broke into the bar. A melee ensued and knives were used. The police trooper was sent for from Yongala but before he arrived, the two worst offenders had been secured with ropes in the stables.
The second storey was added in 1891 at a cost of £1250 and included 20 rooms, a bathroom, a verandah, and wrought iron balustrade. Like many other buildings in the town, it was made of sandstone.
There are few country hotels in South Australia of its scale.
Peterborough, South Australia:
Peterborough was part of the Eldoratrilla Run from 1851 until the Hundred of Yongala was broken up for selection in 1871. Farm land was taken up in 1875 by a group of German settlers; Peter Doecke (after whom the town was named), Johann Koch, and Herman Rohde.
In 1880, while the railway was under construction from Port Pirie, Koch surveyed his land into town allotments and named it Petersburgh. The coast railway arrived from Port Pirie through Jamestown in February 1881, and the inland line from Burra through Terowie connected with it in May 1881, so within months of its foundation Petersburg - as the Post Office and South Australian Railways insisted on spelling it - became a major railway junction.
The town rose to prominence very quickly, and has remained the major population centre in the eastern half of the region. From its early development, Petersburg became a classic railway town in layout - like Gladstone and Quorn - with its main street parallel to the railway, and its principal hotels, banks, and commercial buildings clustered opposite the railway station. Petersburg's growth was assisted by the extension of the railway to Broken Hill in 1887, and by the construction of the Transcontinental Railway to Perth and the
Ghan line to Alice Springs in the early twentieth century, making it a strategic hub of the national railway network.
Under Railways Commissioner William Webb, a large railway maintenance workshop was built at Petersburg, and a suburb of railway workers housing went up at the western end of town, using innovative cast concrete construction techniques developed by Adelaide builder Walter Torode.
In 1918 the Nomenclature Committee renamed the town Peterborough, oblivious to the irony that its German founder had originally given it an English name, and it had only been
made to look German by a bureaucratic mis-spelling. During the 1930s depression, a gold crushing battery was built at Peterborough to encourage local mining. The town has lost most of its railway function since the 1970s, but remains an important regional centre.
