Burger king ? Some mistake surely...
by sourbugger
Burger King has it's normal signage hanging over 8, Cathedral square in the centre of Peterborough. Loud, red and inappropriate as always.
The floors above the fatty temple are however quite a surprise. There are three floors of finely detailed wooden or plaster carvings in a delicate wooden-framed looking building. I suspect the carvings are early 20th century, but no-one seems to know.
I admit that I have drawn a blank and have so far failed to find out the background.. Do take a look, however, but skip the triple cheese whoppergreaseburger.
Peterborough's second Cathedral...?

SAVE THE TAP.
When it comes to pub culture Peterborough does not figure very highly in most peope's opinion. One oasis in a desert of blandness is the brewery tap. Claiming to be the biggest brew-pub in Europe the Oakham brewery has put together a great watering hole.
Unfortunately the area is due for re-development with an extension being sought to the shopping centre. A very well organised campaign has been organised to try and save the pub. The most creative suggestion each week can get SEVENTEEN pints as a prize or a bottle of Champayne. Here are some recent entries :

Do you want to ruin my life!!!?

Plants need sunlight,
Deserts need the rain,
Men need women,
I need the Tap!
Rodney Wolfe from Ashford.
You don't demolish cathedrals,
You revive them and this is peterboughs second cathedral for sure,
Come in and see.
Kevin Hughes from Peterborough.
I love the Tap,
It really isn't crap,
Its open till late,
And unlike a Fiat really shouldn't be scrapped
