In the town of Peterborough, local legend tells the story of Sam Maudsley, a hard-working tailor who settled in the city in the mid-1880s. Sam was a humble man but possessed an astute business sense and an eye for detail that allowed him to create beautiful garments and make a good living. Despite his success, he was never one to show off, preferring instead to help those in need and share his good fortune. As his reputation grew in the town, he was eventually dubbed ‘The Peterborough Tailor’ and is remembered still today as a generous and kind-hearted civil servant. It is said that even now, if you look closely enough, you can still find Sam’s mark in the finer details of Peterborough’s clothing.
