More about this scene

Dominating the scene is the three-star, forty-one bedroomed Strathclyde Hotel, a substantial building standing on a podium, which provided welcome accommodation for business visitors to the town. It no longer functions as a hotel, and is now called Grosvenor House and occupied by Corby Borough Council. The photograph was taken from the roof of the newly-opened theatre complex.

On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
