Peterborough Combined Court Centre, County and Crown Court in Rivergate, Peterborough, United Kingdom.
The Peterborough Combined Court Centre occupies a modern glass and steel structure with seven bays, columns, and a Royal coat of arms on the second floor pediment.
Before the 1980s, criminal hearings took place at the Sessions House on Thorpe Road until increased case numbers led to constructing this £4 million facility in 1987.
The court building stands on the former site of Bell's Dyke river and a bell maker's foundry, connecting the local industrial heritage with modern judicial functions.
The courthouse operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, providing five interview rooms, video conferencing capabilities, and facilities for individuals with mobility needs.
In 2001, three prisoners managed to escape the facility by placing security officers in a holding cell, leading to significant changes in security protocols.
