Welcome to the Tour of Pittwood House.
Here you will find information and pictures about the history of Pittwood House, and some of the more interesting aspects of the building.
Pittwood House was opened on 10 April 1963. At that time it was named the Civic Centre and it was the headquarters of the then Scunthorpe Borough Council. The borough council itself dated back to 1936.
As a result of local government reorganisation, Scunthorpe Borough Council was abolished on 31 March 1996. It was replaced by North Lincolnshire Council on 1 April 1996.
On 2 April 1996, the Civic Centre was renamed Pittwood House in honour of Edwin Pittwood, a former Alderman and long-serving leader of the council.
The name change was deemed essential to make a new beginning for local government.
North Lincolnshire Council serves a much larger area than the previous borough council, taking in surrounding rural communities.
