Photographer for Corby Weddings
Corby Weddings
[wpcol_1quarter id=”” class=”” style=””]Corby is a town in Northamptonshire situated on the borders of the Rockingham Forest. This forest is part of a large area of woodland that used to cover quite a few counties in England. Cool summers with mild winters characterise the maritime climate of Corby. This town is called “Little Scotland” because two thirds of its population is of Scottish descent. This happened[/wpcol_1quarter] [wpcol_3quarter_end id=”” class=”” style=””][/wpcol_3quarter_end]because in 1920 the company of Stewarts and Lloyds, which was Glasgow based, acquired the Ironstone works in Corby and decided to build a sophisticated iron and steel plant. With a downturn in Scotland’s Clyde Valley’s steel industry, many men, who lost their employment there, made the 325 mile journey to Corby. There were so many labourers pouring in that Corby looked more like a shanty town during the gold rush and quite unlike a sleepy English town.
There are beautiful recreational places in Corby like the East Carlton Country Park. The scenery is beautiful here and it is ideal for hiking. They have beautiful wooden carved statues and this set amid the natural beauty would attract serious photographers. The pond with ducks swimming in it is truly picturesque.
