Crosby was a small hamlet in Lincolnshire which has grown into a suburb in the north of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.[1][2] Remnants of the old hamlet can be found in Old Crosby.[2]

The Anglican Parish Church is St George's Church, Crosby[3]. Located on the corner of Digby Street and Frodingham Road, it was designed by the architect H.C. Corlette.[4] Construction of the church began in 1924 and the building was consecrated in 1926.[4] Its former clergy includes (John Harvard) Christopher Laurence who was Archdeacon Of Lindsey from 1985 to 1994.[5]

The Crosby Angel War Memorial is located on the corner of Frodingham Road and Sheffield Street West in the grounds of the former Crosby Primary School.[2] It is inscribed with the names of 60 men from the area who died in World War One.[6]
