Millfield Magical History Tour with Deljit Singh

Описание: "When you ask people about Cromwell Road or Millfield area they often put the shutters up, and they've got particular views on it, which sometimes I find disparaging. However the area's actually steeped in a lot of history."

Growing up on Cromwell Road, summers spent building a playpark, changing landscapes, demolished buildings, Sikh heavy rock DJs, bikers chasing away the national front... what more could you want from a magical history tour of Millfield, Peterborough??

In January 2021, we reached out to Deljit Singh to see if he would be up for being interviewed as part of our Millfield Link project, as his family owned one of, if not the first ethnically-owned shop in Millfield, Rathore Continental Store, affectionately known as 'Mr Singh's Sweet Shop'.

Deljit went one better, and told us about an idea he's had for ages to do a history tour of the area, sharing some of his memories of how the area has changed in his lifetime. We loved this idea so much that we made it happen!
