Corby, Industrial town in North Northamptonshire, England
Corby spans across 31 square miles of rolling hills, surrounded by rural villages and modern housing developments in the Northamptonshire countryside.
The transformation of Corby began in 1931 when a Scottish steelmaking company relocated to the area, initiating rapid industrial development and population growth.
The strong Scottish heritage of Corby manifests through Highland gatherings, widespread consumption of Irn-Bru, and continued support for Scottish football teams.
The Corby railway station provides regular train services to London St Pancras, while dual carriageways connect the town to major cities and airports.
The Corby Pole Fair occurs every twenty years since 1862, following a charter from Elizabeth I that granted rights for markets and celebrations.
