Old Station Quarter brings together premium fitness, recovery, grooming, creativity and social spaces under one roof. Created to be a place to move, to work, to unwind, and to belong – all set within the original Peterborough station building.The space opened recently off Bourges Boulevard and has already attracted lots of interest, so it was great to talk to Lee Muxlow - one of the six people behind the Quarter - to tell us all about it. We spoke about how luck played a part in the location; how Peterborough has changed in the past 30 years; the reaction to the Quarter so far; and short and long-term ambitions.This podcast is hosted in collaboration with The Comms Smith (Pauline Smith) - we're sharing stories about why Peterborough is a great place to live, work and play: https://www.commssmith.com/We're always looking for interesting guests to tell their Peterborough story - email us at peterboroughpodcast@gmail.com
