The Guildhall, Peterborough, celebrates The Queen's 90th. birthday
The Guildhall (or - more precisely - The Old Guildhall) on Cathedral Square, also known as The Butter Cross, was built by John Lovin between 1669 and 1671. It served as the headquarters of the city council from 1874 until the present town hall nearby on Bridge Street was inaugurated in October 1933. The Guildhall, which was restored in 1929, is a Grade II listed building. The Church of St. John the Baptist (commonly known as St. John's Church), which was consecrated in 1407, is just visible behind The Guildhall.
When this image was taken, The Guildhall was adorned with a large portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in celebration of Her Majesty's 90th. birthday on April 21st., 2016. The inscription on the portrait reads: "Celebrating 90 years - Happy birthday from the people of Peterborough".
