The interior of The Queensgate shopping centre, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, UK in 1985. The large, city-centre retail hub was opened by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands on 9 March 1982. Retailers visible include Littlewoods, Burton and Top Man. The centre contains over 100 stores and parking for 2,300 cars in four onsite multi-storey car parks. This image is from an amateur 35mm colour transparency in poor lighting conditions – a vintage 1980s photograph.

Queensgate bus station is located within the shopping centre and it is a short walk from Peterborough railway station. John Lewis Partnership was the main anchor shop in the development (it closed its store in 2021). In 2011 a £20 million revamp to Queensgate was undertaken, which included the clothing retailer Primark arriving. This image is from an amateur 35mm colour transparency in poor lighting conditions. It will look very soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1980s photograph.
