Peterborough Blue Plaques

The Society has produced a free booklet to complement the above blue plaques giving the history and reason for placing a plaque. The booklet is called 'Peterborough Blue Plaques' and is available from the Peterborough Visitor Information Centre, Bridge St, Peterborough, PE1 1HA. When reading about a plaque in the booklet, please check back on these pages because due to space restrictions some information had to be left out, but this is corrected with our webpages which have no restriction on the space available to us. The booklet can also be accessed via our website by clicking on the image to the left. Photographs in the booklet have kindly been provided by the Victoria and Albert Museum, Vivacity Peterborough, June and Vernon Bull, Toby Wood and Peter Lee.

Peterborough Civic Society welcomes suggestions from private individuals and organisations for its Blue Plaques scheme in Peterborough and its villages. The criteria to be met along with proposal form can be found by clicking on the image left. However, we ask proposers to note that many more such suggestions are received than can be approved, given the resources available, and that an evaluation process is therefore necessary. The Society will normally seek to commission and erect a number of plaques as a single project in order to achieve production savings and maximise publicity benefits. We plan to undertake a plaques project every two to three years, the next being in 2019/20.

Please note that a significant contribution towards plaque costs will be required, whether from the proposer, through grant or other sources e.g. sponsorship.
