Looking Back: A police incident in Bridge Street in 1980
In 1980 I remember hearing sirens in Bridge Street thinking if photographers David Lowndes, Jack Brindley or Rowland Hobson were not about, then the Peterborough Evening Telegraph might use my picture, writes street photographer Chris porsz.
A bit late, but 46 years later, here we are, a then and now.
I recall at the time a suspicious package had been found in Marks and Spencer next door and it had to be evacuated.
Look closely, you can see shoppers boarding the bus, Andy’s Records (before Rivergate was built) and the ET seller box.
Currently, plans are afoot now to demolish the old Woolworth building.
