Scunthorpe, Industrial town in North Lincolnshire, England
Scunthorpe is a town in North Lincolnshire, in the east of England, that extends across several neighborhoods with residential areas, shopping districts, and industrial sites. Roads link the different parts together, while factory buildings and chimneys shape the skyline.
In the mid-19th century only a few people lived here, until ironstone was discovered in the 1860s. The ore transformed the place into a center for steelmaking that grew over the following decades.
The Baths Hall and Plowright Theatre present regular performances throughout the year, offering entertainment options for the 81,286 residents of the town.
The town center includes shops and facilities for everyday needs. The railway station sits a short distance away and offers connections to larger cities in the region.
The name combines several villages that grew together in the 20th century. The administration decided to merge the place names under one label rather than invent a new one.
