Peterborough College, established in 1946 as Peterborough Technical College, is a major further education college in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Engineering firms Peter Brotherhood and Baker Perkins relocated to Peterborough just after 1900 and, by the 1930s, British Thomson-Houston, Newall Engineering and Mitchell Engineering were established. Peterborough was already an important railway centre providing a great deal of work for the populace, but with all this industry there was no local provision for training.
