Walton is a residential area and electoral ward of the city of Peterborough in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England. Manufacturers of industrial machinery, Peter Brotherhood, relocated here from London in 1906.[1]
Walton County Infant and Junior schools were amalgamated in September 2007 to form a single Primary School; following the closure of Walton Comprehensive School in July 2007, secondary pupils attend Queen Katharine Academy which opened in September 2007 as The Voyager School but later changed.[2]
Walton is home to a semimajor retail hub which boasts a large Morrison's supermarket, two drive-thru restaurants and 5 large retailers in the main Brotherhoods retail park.[3] Past this is a mediocre industrial estate with dealerships, gyms, logistic centres, supermarkets and a post-office.
Walton became a parish in 1866,[4] on 1 April 1929 it was abolished and merged with Peterborough.[5] In 1921 the parish had a population of 1118.[6]
