Description
Peterscourt is a building located on City Road in Peterborough, constructed between 1856 and 1864 by architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. Originally built as a teacher training college for men, it now serves as council offices. The structure is made of red brick and features a tiled roof, with paired lancet-headed windows. It is two storeys high, with gabled semi-dormers, while the left-hand block rises to three storeys and includes three-light windows with head diapered brick in recesses. The building is primarily noted for its doorway, which was salvaged from the London Guildhall after it was damaged in the Second World War. This doorway dates back to the early 18th century and is made of wood, showcasing finely carved Corinthian pilasters with swags on the frieze, along with a rectangular fanlight featuring Gothic glazing.
