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.
