Another claim to fame for Scunthorpe
Local author Ted Lewis featured Scunthorpe in his series of novels which were made into films starring Michael Caine during the 1960’s.  The books were all about gangster life of the period.  One of the stories, Jack’s Return Home later released as Get Carter, showed gangster Jack Carter returning to Scunthorpe from London after his brother’s death with the aim of revenge.  The film location was actually shot on Tyneside.

The actual story was based on a true one – known as the one-armed bandit murder - a fruit machine cash collector from Sunderland, Angus Sibbet.

Castle Comfort Stair Lifts
No need to gamble on your attempts to make it up and down the stairs!  We can give you your independence back with a stair or chairlift to suit.  Stairlifts also help to reduce the risk of accidents on the stairs as we get frailer and less able to cope with this necessary access to another level.

We can supply straight, curved or perch stairlifts.  The first two depend entirely on the sort of staircase you have whilst the third is deigned for those of you unable to bend your knees for whatever reason.  We can assess just what you need and also offer fair stairlift prices.  We even have reconditioned stairlifts available.

If you’re concerned about how you can fund this, have a look at the opportunities for grants or 0% finance.  Of course you can also call us for advice on  01522 889 769 .

All about Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe was made up of five villages – Scunthorpe, Frodingham, Crosby, Brumby and Ashby – all of which joined together to form the larger conurbation of Scunthorpe.  The area is rich in iron ore and limestone both are crucial components for manufacturing steel.  This was an important part of Scunthorpe’s industry but by the 1980’s all the local mines were closed and British Steels closed all operations in the UK.

Ironstone was mined here way back during the Roman occupation and the iron ore deposits were only rediscovered in the 19th century.

During its heyday of steel production Scunthorpe had the largest steel processing plant in the UK and was known as the Industrial Garden Town.

Steel production is still a big part of Scunthorpe’s industry mainly with Corus, the Indian owned company; industrial gas is also produced in the area.  Engineering, food production and distribution account for other major industries in Scunthorpe.

Beyond Scunthorpe’s control
In 2008, a significant earthquake – 5.2 on the Richter scale – caused Scunthorpe to experience shock waves.  This was one of the largest earthquakes ever experienced in the UK.

Another famous few from Scunthorpe
There are a few more famous names connected with Scunthorpe; these include Howard Devoto singer with the Buzzcocks and Magazine; Danny Flynn a science fiction and fantasy artist; the convicted murderer Ian Huntley also lived in Scunthorpe at one time.

We have to mention ...
Scunthorpe United is the breeding ground for many of our footballers.  The club was formed in 1899 and is knick-named The Iron.  More recent players include Jermaine Beckford, Andy Keogh, Billy Sharp and Gary Hooper.
