Local legend painted in Peterborough
A mural to a Peterborough legend has been created on a city centre street.
Walter Cornelius was a strongman, lifeguard, and entertainer.
Legend says that he escaped Soviet-era Latvia by swimming the Baltic Sea.
He settled in Peterborough and lived there until his death in 1983.
Street artist Nathan Murdoch's been working on a giant mural in his honour.
He tells Dotty McLeod why Walter deserves the tribute.
