Why buy a home in Corby?
Corby is a town and borough in the county of Northamptonshire, most famous for its iron and steel industry. Corby was once known as "Little Scotland" due to the large number of Scottish workers who came to Corby for its steelworks. Corby sits on a huge bed of ironstone, which was worked on in Roman Times but abandoned during the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558 - 1603). In 1933, Corby was home to the Stewarts and Lloyds' Steel Works, which became Europe's largest of its kind.
If you visit Corby today, you will be met with a whole host of naturistic attractions, including East Carlton Country Park, Corby Boating Lake and Fineshade Wood. The Beautiful 'Kirby Hall' sits proudly in the countryside of Corby which was once owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I and has been used as a filming location for many productions.
