  CLEETHORPES has been given the distinction of having three pubs featured in a new book – more than any other town in the country.

Many did look in my direction, and several had to stop behind...

  THE Queen visited Scunthorpe 20 years ago this week. On Wednesday, May 19, 1993, she opened the Scunthorpe General Hospital extension, The Queen's Building. The £15 million project included multi-speciality wards, an ante-natal clinic, central delivery suite, a special care baby unit, five operating theatres and administrative areas.
