Queensgate in the 80s and 90s was booming ,but as everywhere as soon as the internet and online shopping kicked in plus out of town free parking shopping centres sprung up it died ...same story everywhere you go these days .
Most of the units that were closed on the upper and ground level by the mechanical zoo was one John Lewis shop. It’s currently being refurbished and will open as a cinema
Hope they turn these units into cinemas or something useful. It is pretty sad to see them empty in the shopping mall Thanks for watching and commenting
Yes, John Lewis ( all 3 levels ) were possibly the ' jewel in the crown ' of the entire Queensgate centre... Just amazing to see the gradual decline.....
Born and raised in the area but sadly it now deserves its no 1 status. Gone down hill bigtime in the last 20 year's. Like a lot of older peterborough people we no longer go into the city center for shopping but go to Stamford instead. Silly city council is to PC and wont say no to anything. Soon to have more superb countryside west of the city covered in bricks & morter, ind estates, schools, etc up to 15K in the finish. 5-8 village communitys will be lost to the urban sprawl of Peterborough. It's best described as a donut everything on the outside nothing in the middle. Best avoided at all costs.
Yeah, unfortunately, Peterborough is immune from downhill. It is like a pandemic happening in every town and city across the UK Thanks for watching and commenting
Interesting video... I used to live in Peterborough, back in the 1980's and 1990's... Can recognize most of the places you visited, the Lincoln Road area hasn't changed much in 30 years... Sad to see the lovely John Lewis closed in Queensgate... Many of the outdoor scenes which you visited, seem to resemble the Alamo... Totally agree that this seems to be happening everywhere, in our once proud Country...?
Overall it is lovely city with its cathedral and any other outdoor scenes ... Although most shops and stores are closed in shopping mall which is common in most cities and town I am visiting . Online shopping , Pandemic all has devastating impact in most areas. Thanks for your comment
Peterborough has some nice places and some poor places. Unfortunately everyone shops online but then moans that the shops are closing. A lot of those units were John Lewis so it seems a lot worse than it is. But saying that Queensgate is nothing compared to what it was twenty years ago 😢
You are right shopping on line is killer of the high street and that's what has been happening to Queensgate shopping mall. Above all Peterborough is nice city with friendly people. Thanks for your comment
