Corby is one of England's fastest-growing towns, a former steel town that has been transformed through sustained regeneration since the steelworks closed in 1980. The town's Scottish heritage (from steelworker migration) is still reflected in its accent and culture. Major investment in the Corby Cube civic hub, improved rail services, and massive housing growth have repositioned it as a dynamic new town.
“Former steel town now fastest growing in UK. Major logistics and distribution. Scottish heritage (Little Scotland).”
