Corby, a town with a rich history and diverse offerings. From its roots in Iron Works to being captured in an iconic Civil War photograph, this place has seen it all. Father William Corby, seated right alongside other chaplains of the 69th New York Infantry (Irish Brigade), immortalized by Mathew Brady's lens at Harrisons Landing in Virginia during July 1862. But Corby is not just about war stories; it also boasts a thriving industrial scene. The Washing & Steel Mill stands tall as a testament to the town's manufacturing prowess. And speaking of steel, Andrew Jordan zooms past in his BMW 125i M Sport (CM21 0132) while Richard Dillon cruises effortlessly in his Citroen C1 (CM26 3738). Lloyds Bank proudly serves the community here, providing financial stability and support for residents and beyond. Meanwhile, Lee Pattison from WDE Motorsport showcases his skills on CM21 0228 as James Gilmour races ahead in his Caterham 270R (CM26 3691). Venturing outside the urban landscape reveals picturesque villages like Aldwincle nestled within Northamptonshire's countryside. And if you're looking for more charm, take a stroll down High Street in Uppingham where English heritage meets modern-day life. Let us not forget nature's beauty either - Wetheral offers breathtaking views of the River Eden with its majestic church and viaduct backdrop while the Corby Ferry adds an element of nostalgia to this idyllic scene.
