Wikipedia says something about industrial / steel town, which might be a bleak place, but I'm from "The Ruhr" which has a similar history and we do have a lot of lovely places. Still many ugly ones too though, I admit it.Evan wrote:

The funny thing is, that my first idea of Scunthorpe was more like something out of a Jane Austen novel. I blame the "-thorpe".
