SCUNTHORPE

Abstract

Steel appeal has given Scunthorpe phenomenal growth, and unparalleled dependence on one industry. The British Steel Corporation, troubled by falling profits and price curbs, is pinning many hopes on a £188 million modernisation scheme. But the resultant labour, cutback, 3,000 fewer jobs within two years, is making Scunthorpe diversify with haste. Chris Phillips reports; pictures by Eric Lockrane.
