“Cardaline:

Thanks for the correction and extra info, I only remember the two works but thinking right back makes me remember.”

“Just to correct JohnJohn, Scunthorpe had more than two steelworks, more recently it had 3, Redbourn, App-Frod & Lysaght's but going back further it had 5 if you include Trent and Lindsey etc.”

“Yes nice to see the photographs of old Scunthorpe, All though Scunthorpe had two steel works and many homes and businesses burned coal the town in general looked a lot smarter with nice open spaces and children's play areas. Not at all like today's rubbish strewn broken glass littered graffiti spoiled children's play areas. The shops looked smarter and the town looked busier too, and so they tell us things have got better over the decades.”
