Peterborough Combined Court Centre, County and Crown Court in Rivergate, Peterborough, United Kingdom.
The Peterborough Combined Court Centre is a modern courthouse with glass and steel construction located on Rivergate. The structure features seven bays, supporting columns, and displays a Royal coat of arms on its second floor pediment.
Criminal hearings were held at the Sessions House on Thorpe Road until the 1980s. Rising caseloads led to the construction of this facility in 1987.
The building occupies a site with roots in Peterborough's industrial past, where a foundry once operated alongside a river channel. This local history now sits beneath the everyday functions of modern justice.
The facility operates on weekdays and offers interview rooms, video conferencing capabilities, and accessible facilities. Visitors should plan to enter through the main entrance and expect standard security screening.
A notable security incident in 2001 involved prisoners restraining officers and escaping the facility. This event prompted extensive changes to the security system and procedures.
