Peterboro was made by Peter Brotherhood of Peterborough in a short period from 1920. Peter Brotherhood was a large engineering company that branched out into tractors at a time, just after WW1 but, although they were a strongly built tractor and powerful at 30 hp, the cost put them way ahead of the Model F Fordson. The engine was designed by Ricardo who specialised in engine design.
I think this tractor is owned by R. Desborough, a private collector of rare tractors who shows them at our local East of England vintage machinery show. He brings along a number of rare tractors and cars, some of which get posted on here by KCM.
The Peterboro was also exported to places like Australia and New Zealand and there is an excellent one on display in the Wheatland's Museum in Warracknabeal, Victoria, Australia, a museum well worth a visit if you ever get to Australia. ( A tractor and horse drawn cart are on show which came from my cousins farm. The family emigrated from Norfolk in the 1860's).
