Politics & War: the royal connections to the ancient cathedral including Catherine of Aragon and Mary Queen of Scots

Science & Industry: a city expanded by railway industry, brickmaking, and engines. Two pioneering female scientists.

Arts & Culture: The Peterborough Chronicle, a key national record, and insight into the evolution of the English language

Urban landscape: a new town joined onto a historic city centre home to one of the great cathedrals of England

As ever, we will give our opinions on the city and scores for historic interest.
