Transforming the entrance to Cowgate, this large-scale mural reimagines a historic watercolour of the street as it looked in the 1930s. Created by renowned Peterborough street artists Nathan Murdoch and Tony Nero, the work blends fine detail with bold colour, capturing a moment in the city’s past when trams rattled through and shopfronts bustled with life. The piece celebrates local heritage while bringing fresh vibrancy to the city centre, inviting passers-by to pause and imagine Cowgate as it once was.
