Branners Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Heard an advert for North London Shire on the radio today. Decided to see where it is as it sounded idylic and housing is cheap. Found out why http://www.northlondonshire.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's also got a crater named after it on the Mars and it's the largest town in europe without a train station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's also got a crater named after it on the moon and it's the largest town in europe without a train station Sadly I just did a WIKI on Corby, and they had a train station built in 2009 which runs to London. So that is no longer true. They were once a big steel producing town, but when that business went phut they had a serious problem with employment and so lots of people had to move away for jobs, leaving behind a bit of a legacy...
