Corby crater on Mars is named after the town of Corby. Corby was voted the 9th worst town in Britain in a 2004 online poll[13]. It is claimed[14] that Corby is the largest town in Europe without a passenger rail service. However, the town of Gosport in Hampshire (population 78,000) also claims this dubious honour, and Reykjavic, capital city of Iceland is similarly deprived. Lemmy from Motorhead hails from Corby. Jonny Vaughn once worked at the Corby Swimming Pool. In Feb '06, Liam Gallagher, of indie-rock-band Oasis, was spotted in the local BP garage.
