The Corby Archive: Our Story Since Kori's by
The Corby Candle rock opera is built on the grit, heart, and history of the people who shaped this town. Now, we want to show the rest of the world the real faces and places behind the music.
If your family made the journey to Corby, worked the fires at Stewart and Lloyds, or watched the original village grow into a thriving town, this space is for you. Help us preserve and celebrate our shared heritage by signing our guestbook or contributing your family photos to our digital wall.
