Great video I learn from each video you make. Who knew a watermill at Barnack! I just love that church never get tired of visiting sooo old. Bit like me! Have you seen the orchids in Sulehay woods bee orchids and lots of purple orchids. Keep up the good work it is much appreciated.

Really enjoyed that. Thank you. Yaxley Thorney and Marholm please 😂

The Wyles that runs the website are descended from Duddington but now lives in South London and Torbay.

The first recorded race meeting was indeed in 1619 but there is a map belonging to the Burghley Estate dated 1615 showing a course. The last race meeting was in 1874 and it was only flat racing.

The year of Mary's death is written that way to show that it's an OS (old style) date. The year used to begin on March 25th (Lady Day) from 1155 to 1752, when the Gregorian calendar was adopted. So 1586/7 shows that by the calendar in effect at the time, she died in 1586, but by the Gregorian calendar we use now she died in 1587. If they had just put "1587" anyone aware of the calendar change would either assume she died a year later than she did or have to look up the topic to get clarification.

A trip down memory lane I grew up there. Went to the school! Big changes but it was a long time ago Thank you so much😊

I rented one of those houses on potters Way Circa 2005. It brings to reality that someone was living there... before I was even born !

Great video, any chance of a map of this walk please?

Cracking video, as usual. Many thanks. Keep them coming! 😊

Really enjoyed that. Thank you.

Great video, Fotheringhay was a regular visit for me when I worked at the Black Horse Nassington, unfortunately do to arthritis im not able to climb up to the top of the mound, love the Tudor shields in the church also the lovely font.

Great video,and I featured in it.(grey pick up truck in castor). I was always under the impression the 47 followed the route up Broadway off eastfield road then through town so I've learnt something new😊

Great video Paul. Thanks for sharing.

I remember very well the layout of Potters Way and the Running track when I used to work for the Parks Dept then , also where the Potters Way Pavilion that was the changing rooms for the football pitches on that piece of land behind the houses was when I started work there was the council tip . I can also see the old groundsman shed that we used for the maintenance macinery of the Running track and River embankment . I notice that the new builds are built on the old sewage works site but haven't used the old tip site for building for ovious reasons , but at present the tip area is now used as a nature area as not suitable for pitches any more due to the uneven surface due to land settlement . Happy days there then.

What amazing footage. I was an 'A' level student at P'boro Tech in 1980. Looking at this, with its atmospheric soundtrack and no commentary, makes me reflect that it 's like looking back at a different planet, which in so many ways it was.

Soon, there will be nothing left of the Embankment as the council continues to sell it off to be built over.

I wonder how many people who live on that estate off of Potters Way know their living on a old sewage works?

I was in the Isolation Hospital to have my tonsils removed in about 1950. Early NHS and a bit of a mess, I can remember the smell of the rubber sheet and have hated balloons ever since. The early days of the NHS have a lot to answer for. Would St Marys church have been on this photograph please?

Thank you for a lovely video of one of my favourite local villages, I loved exploring the Village and local area, when I worked at the Black Horse in 1981/2,

I too am from Peterborough so found your video fascinating thank you for posting.

I remember when Peterborough market had livestock auctions.

Have you walked to fotherinhay or Oundle ? Would love to see the history loving these videos so interesting 😊

Hi have just discovered your channel and I love it! Have you done one on Barnack church ? It has some Saxon parts and is very interesting.

Love your videos

Just great Del. Interesting to hear about the pre-Queensgate shops. I lived outside the city in the 70s so didn't know it as well as you. Keep up the good work!

Hey Benefields we're all related tho distantly now, we're probably all related from like 3 to 6 grandfathers ago. 😊 It would be hilarious if all the Benefields decided to go back to our ancestral home.

Great documentary of Easton. from the Shop/Post Office on Westfields. 22 years of current ownership

Thank you for creating these two fascinating videos. Between 1967/71 I lived in the nearby village of Upwood and often visited and stayed with a schoolfriend at his home The Manor. (31:11) His father was a local farmer. I remember being shown around the areas you have covered. I also remember my friend showing me their field where an Alconbury based Boeing B17 crashed during the war. Each year of the ploughing season they would discover small bits of the aircraft. Years later I think when my friend inherited the farm, a lot of the land was sold during the late 1970s and turned into a housing estate. At around the same time the runways from RAF Upwood were dug up and used as aggregate for the A1 motorway extension. Back in the 1960s the whole area was lovely, peaceful and picturesque. From your videos I see a lot of what I knew as a child is still there.

I know some things about northboro like how the old car garage was originally a farmyard alot of old buildings are down there as can bee seen from the road theres a dovecot in pretty nice condition down there

Fabulous video. Always been curious as to why there are so many houses named as "villas" in Fletton and Woodston (including our house), does anyone know why?

I wondered if the stone ledges at the start of your walk were in fact for milk churns. I may be wrong and probably are. Anyway another fine piece of investigative trekking. Thank you.

Thorougly enjoyable walk. So much to see and great information. Thankyou

Did The A47 New Bypass open in September 1992? Also The A47 was built in 60s I think

What I can remember most about Whittlesey railway saw the huge number of long brick wagons that used to reside in the sidings. They were visible from the carraiges of trains going to Hunstanton on a Sunday.

I nearly fell in the river close to the flour mill when I had one foot on a drifting boat and the other on the bank,. A heart stopping moment. Lovely video once again.

Excellent. Only spoiled by the adverts

Had you continued along Oundle Road towards the railway bridge you would have passed a small school on the left and a recreation ground on the right. The recreation ground served as the football pitch for the school. If I remember correctly there was a tarmac footpath running right across the pitch. If I misremembered please accept my apologies.

As a useful young footballer in my very young days the drill hall was a venue where Peterborough Boys trained. Are in fact what look like lamp standard chimneys for the release of gas from the fleet?

Considering I was born in Peterborough and my parents for a while lived in Ailsworth I am ashamed that I am ignorant to so much of the areas history. Thank you for your efforts.

Excellent. All I think I know about Tixover is that there is/was a Tixover hill. It was a challenge to cycle up it without stopping: in the days of Claud Butler and Freddie Holdsworth sports cycles. Cyril Munday of Peterborough was a supplier of cycles and a user in his own right.

Sorry to say, not kids being kids but kids being vandals. Excellent historical video. Thank you for posting.

Wonderful. I travelled the route (both sides of Peterborough) quite often when I was young (say about 16.) Your video bought back many memories. Thank you for posting I am now 80.

In addition to my thumbs up I should have said what a wondeful walk through the village. Thank you for taking the time to record your knowledge of the village.

I am part way through your video and it suddenly struck me if there might be a similar video for Cowland in Lincolnshire? My Grandma Hardy lived in a house near the school in Crowland and i would live to see the village in a similar way that you have charted Brigstock. My apologies for interrupting your video.

I love biking along that path next to the nene, then up to Whittlesey. Its NOT boring if you bike, the sense of space is so nice. If you're on foot maybe its dull, but you WILL NOT get better skyscapes anywhere else in England. Also recommend the path from Peakirk to Crowland along the top of a floodbank. Similar views and sense of space.

Thank you so much it was a walk through my childhood and beyond

I wish you had included St Marys Close as it leads you to very popular pathway usedby locals and visitors across back fields to shop and butcher but a good film. Do another in Spring / Summer much prettier. With flowers Thank you.

Really enjoyed this as per usual. Thankyou for all your hard work regarding the research and information.
