About Corby - show info hide info

Corby is an industrial town and a local government district located 8 miles north of Kettering in Northamptonshire, England. It has a population of 53,174 (2001 Census). In 1931 Corby was a small village with a population of around 1,500. It grew rapidly into a reasonably-sized industrial town, when a Scottish steel firm (Stewarts and Lloyds) located to the then village in the mid-1930s, bringing most of their Scottish employees with them. To this day, many Corby residents today speak with a Scottish accent, despite being in the English Midlands. Steel production was for many years the town's main industry. The steel works complex at Corby grew to be the second largest of its type in Europe, and was larger than the works at Sheffield. The town is located along the A43, A427, A6003 and is ten miles from the A14. Corby was designated a new town in the 1950s and the town grew further. The steel industry went into decline in the 1980s, and the steel works complex, then run by British Steel, was forced to close in 1981. One of Weetabix's factories is based in the town on the Earlstrees Industrial Estate. Golden Wonder Crisps have a factory too. Just north of Corby is the village of Rockingham, home of Rockingham Castle. Despite its name, the Rockingham Motor Speedway is located in Corby - partially on the site of the old steelworks, a US-style banked elliptical track (the only such kind in the UK) which holds a 210mph speed record in a Ford Cosworth. During the recent property boom, Corby was named as a town where the average house price had risen by the smallest amount throughout the period 2001 - 2004. However, due to the now active regeneration ongoing in the town, plus continual rumours about the train station reopening have led to house prices more-or-less following regional trends. According to a local rail company Corby is the largest town in Europe without a passenger rail service. Towns nearby include Peterborough, Loughborough, Rugby, Leicestershire and Northampton, with the villages of Oakley, Weldon, Rockingham, Deene and Stanion nearby.
