Take A Drive Around Peterborough In 1987 And Reflect On What's Changed (And What Hasn't)

A neat video shot in 1987—definitely not on an iPhone—shows how much has changed in Peterborough in 32 years… and how much it hasn’t.

The video was taken on a family trip to Peterborough.

It takes you through the outskirts of Peterborough, then past the Historic Lift Lock, in the tunnel, into East City, over the bridge, and into the downtown, down to Little Lake and then back toward the North End and the zoo.

One person in the YouTube comments of the video said “So who volunteers to drive the same route and take the same video.” Now that would be neat!

Have a watch below—maybe accompany it with some background music on that was released that year (samples include U2’s The Joshua Tree, REM’s Document, Guns N’ Roses Appetite for Destruction, Depeche Mode’s Music for the Masses and Def Leppard’s Hysteria—and add your Spot the Difference comments on our Facebook page post…
