Peterborough, a city with a rich history, can be traced back to ancient settlements along the River Nene, which emerged after the construction of the medieval cathedral. The city experienced its primary period of growth in the nineteenth century, when it transformed into a railway city and a significant industrial hub. Notably, Peterborough gained fame for its brickmaking industry, with the London Brick Company supplying bricks nationwide. However, the city's industrial landscape was diverse, encompassing other notable industries such as Perkins Engines. Furthermore, Peterborough's location on the edge of the Fens influenced the development of historic industries like British Sugar Ltd and barge transporters along the waterways.
Today, Peterborough's economy is characterized by a mix of light industry and services, making it one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. Peterborough at Work delves into the working lives of the people of this East Anglian city and explores the industries that have shaped its history throughout the ages. This comprehensive book appeals to anyone with a passion for the history of Peterborough, offering a fascinating insight into the city's past and present.
