Peterborough Museum uses Market Deeping Model Railway Club layout for local railways exhibition

People can visit an exhibition charting the history of local railways, which includes a model made by enthusiasts.

Taking place at Peterborough Museum, the free exhibition has dozens of photos from the past, maps, artefacts and old uniforms.

Market Deeping Model Railway Club members have created a scale model of Peterborough East Railway Station, which sits in pride of place in the exhibition hall.

Peterborough East was open to passengers from 1845 until 1966, and the site is now the Fletton Quays housing development.

The Peterborough Railways exhibition at Peterborough Museum in Priestgate is open from 10am to 4pm except Sundays until September 21.

Peterborough Museum has Jurassic, Ice Age and wildlife galleries designed to appeal to children as well as adults, and the delightfully gory Victorian Operating Theatre.

There are also displays on local archaeological finds, a look at social history that includes a 1950s kitchen with the latest Hotpoint technology, and an art gallery and shop.
