This week features opportunities to enjoy the local scene, with chances to experience Corby’s evolution. The town began as Corbei in the Domesday Book, with ironworkings noted before 1066. Industrial growth followed with the Midland Main Line opening in 1879, leading to brick making and ironstone mining. In 1950 Corby became a New Town, and steel production expanded rapidly from 1930 under Stewarts and Lloyds. While major industries declined after nationalisation and closure of the ironworks in 1979, the town still offers regular entertainment. You can reach the city centre easily via East Midlands Railway, with hourly trains from Corby railway station. The A43 and A6003 provide road access. Parking can be busy on weekends at East Carlton Country Park, but the core shopping zone remains accessible. There are also family-friendly options, with plenty of green space and local events.
