A new book published by the History Press in association with North Lincolnshire Council is to be launched at a special event on the 7th September.
The event will take place at North Lincolnshire Museum on Oswald Road on Tuesday 7 September between 12pm and 4pm.
Copies of the book can be bought at the event and cost �12.95. The book contains over 200 photographs of Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire towns and villages taken from Victorian times up to the 1970's.
As part of the book launch there is also an exhibition at the museum showing some of the photographs.

Should be a good book, I shall try and get there on the 7th after 6/2 shift.
All of North Licolnshire's Museum photo Archive is available to view online and has been for a number of years, they have just added another 37 pages of 'unsee' photo's which are very good too.

Cheers Harty & Hamst, thanks for the link, really appreciate that!
If I'm free Tuesday afternoon (Don't know where I'll be working yet) then I thought I might pop down too, might see you there!
No problem.
The link should take you straight to the Image Archive search page.
It's a shame it's hidden away in the councils website which makes it hard for people to find. It takes 8 clicks through various menus and hyperlinks to get to it, thats if you know which path to take!
great images site that one,

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
