Scunthorpe is a town within North Lincolnshire, England. It is the administrative centre of the North Lincolnshire unitary authority, and has a total resident population of 72,660. A predominantly industrial town, Scunthorpe is also known as the 'Industrial Garden Town'. Scunthorpe enjoys relatively good shopping facilities, with both the uncovered Foundry Shopping Centre and the part-covered Parishes Centre. The former was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s during a wholesale reconstruction of the old town; the latter was constructed in the early part of this decade on the site of the town's old bus station. There are also many well known retailers on the High Street, although there are no book shops in the vacinity. However the size of the retail units reflects the size of the area's population and with larger shopping facilities within reasonable travelling distance in Grimsby, Hull, Doncaster, Lincoln and at Meadowhall, Sheffield many locals often travel to these towns for major purchases. Retail parks can be found near the football stadium (Scunthorpe United) and the steelworks. All the big food retailers are represented in the area; There is a Tesco Extra opposite the football ground, while Sainsbury's have their store on the site of the old football ground. Morrison's have a store at the bottom of Mortal Ash Hill (known locally as "Motlash") (A18 road), on the eastern entrance to the town while Asda have a store on Burringham Road. More on Scunthorpe
