 PTUC’s History

“The first version of Peterborough Trades Union Council was formed in
1872 with Mr Carter as President. The 1870s was a time when the trade
union movement in Peterborough was growing in strength and the High
Bailiff of the County Council, Benjamin Taylor, was the driving force
behind much of this growth.” –
