Information
1961:The people of Peterborough saw a subtle change in their newspaper today. As part of an EMAP reorganisation, the Peterborough Evening Telegraph - previously produced at Kettering as an edition of the Northampton Evening Telegraph - was launched as an independent newspaper from the Peterborough Advertiser's offices in Cumbergate. Over the next fifty years it would become an integral part of city life, with a much more impressive home facing Bourges Boulevard.
