The changing views from Peterborough's Town Bridge

1 week ago | peterboroughtoday.co.uk | Brad Barnes

Last week I shared a photo of the wonderful architectural frieze on the Town Bridge side of the Mitchell Engineering offices – and now are some views from the other side, writes street photographer Chris Porsz. Taken in the early noughties you can see rising flood water breaching the sand bagged doors while staff are at work in the upper floors.

It's an iconic Disney musical with memorable songs and characters - and Peterborough Operatic and Dramatic Society did it justice bringing it to the Key Theatre stage last night. Sarah Lynn and Andrew Whittaker in the title roles were spot on - her A Change In Me and his If I Can't Love Her were highlights.
