The Hero of Hunter Street is a hybrid of fact and fiction about the family of Dennis and Laura O’Brien, and how their lives were changed forever by one of the most severe tragedies in Peterborough’s history — the night on December 11th, 1916 when the Quaker Oats factory exploded and burned to the ground.
