I’m delighted to be bringing you news of the Society moving forward towards some normality.
Our programme of events for the remainder of this calendar year is now available. After closely following government announcements, we have decided that we are able to proceed with this.
PLEASE NOTE: all events will be held with strict regard to government rules and we reserve the right to cancel if necessary. A very sincere thank you for all your support and encouragement during this pandemic. Now we can look forward with confidence as our meetings pan out in the way that they were intended and planned.
Please do get in touch, if you would like to enjoy the benefits of membership; I look forward to welcoming you.
Kind regards
Chairman, Peterborough Local History Society
Peterborough Local History Society
Discover more about the history of the city and surrounding areas…
Peterborough Local History Society was formed in 1991 by a group of individuals who believed that the city needed an association where people could come together to share and enjoy the history of this area. Since then we have grown to a Society with around 75 members who meet once every month. Some of our members are researchers, delving into specific avenues of history; some are authors of local books; whilst the majority just want to come along and learn from our various speakers.
