Generally speaking, baby grands are not antiques, and the number suggests 1935, but the Peterborough address has a modern postcode - introduced in the 1970s. No-one anywhere can trace the life history of every piano, and no archives are available. See

You could approach the Piano Tuners' Association )MPTA means Member of the Piano Tuners'Association) to see when Mr Knibbs was a member; the three digit telephone number implies that it must have been in the early seventies. If he's still around (and he doesn't feature in the Yellow Pages, I've looked!) you could contact him, but he may only ever have tuned it once.He might have a record of who owned it then.You could always try writing to that Peterborough address.
