@vorsprungoutdoors Did you know Mathew's chippy on Stanley Street does fish, chips and peas for the unbeatable price of £3? I think the cheapest in UK.
I think that was a very fair video. I live in Grimsby and I'm working on on the Docks with the wind farm regeneration that you visited. We need a lot of regeneration in the area and hopefully we can get it. There is a lot of potential as you can see with Docks Beers and Cleethorpes but just need the investment. Hope you enjoyed your trip and see you again
I've been to Grimsby a fair bit as my Grandad was originally from there and my Grandparents lived in Lincolnshire from the 60's up until they both passed away. Anyone who has been there is aware that it's suffered a lot in recent years, but there's still plenty of good things about it and I'm glad you showed that. This was refreshing to see.
Thank you for posting this video . I use too go too Grimsby and Cleethorpes many years ago when I lived in Louth Lincolnshire about 16 miles away ..please apologises if I got the mileage wrong ❤❤❤❤
Great video. Interesting you should say the docks would be great as a film set. It has been used as such. Atonement, This is England, Three Day Millionaire.
Excellent video, it's really good to see some of the positives highlighted rather than just the negatives that many Grimsby videos focus on. It's a good town with great people and it just needs some investment and TLC. There are some exciting plans so fingers crossed 🤞 Thank you for posting 👍
Great video of my beautiful little town, the derelict buildings on the docks where used as a setting for the film 'Atonement'. I hope you visited the Sweet Shop inside Freshney Place 😊
You didn't do the museums. The Fishing Heritage centre is great and the one under the Town Hall is also nice. If you'd continued your walk all the way to Tetney, you'd have found a great pub with awesome lunches. However, you summed the place up pretty well.
Looks like you had quite a long walk in Cleethorpes. The Greenwich meridian actually runs through Cleethorpes. If you keep walking straight on from the leisure centre you can't miss it. There is a globe and a plaque and if you find the right spot you are standing at roughly 0.0001 degrees west. Incidentally you visited People's park on a sunday. Not sure if it was open or closed but there is a indoor greenhouse type botanical garden full of plants and cacti from Central and South America. It gets quite warm in there though.
If you ask for fish & chips in Grimsby you will automatically get haddock. In the tourist area of Cleethorpes they ask if you want haddock or cod. Reason being a lot of day trippers come from Yorkshire and are more used to cod.
Ha ha just ambled onto the docks. Wondered how you did that. Went there as a kid. It was like a small town. The German on the picture was from the film, "The great Escape". I didn't know why it was there until I saw the manager's name - Steve McQueen. He was the actor portrayed in the image.
It has changed soo much since I left in 91 , some not good however the people of the `Town are second to none. Such a shame the Council have allowed it to decline soo much. It’s the people I love the genuine Grimberians not the people who have come in and given us a bad name. So proud to have grown up in the town and surrounding area.
Great video I moved to cleethorpes 15 years ago from the midlands and love it but Grimsby isn’t a place we venture to,amazing how 2 places so close are so different. You should have gone steels best fish and chips in the world,Becketts are average at best.
best video of Great Grimsby Town I've watched.. none of this asking skag heads what's wrong with the town... their answers always the same, how they're always getting nothing but the shitty end of the stick...
@2.35 the reason the poundland shop is closed down (it's actually moved further down) is because that section of town is being redeveloped into a cinema, with fast food (probably) restaurants. Work should have begun, but it's taking it's time. The town itself is in the process of being redeveloped.
@@vorsprungoutdoors Oh ay up pal . If you ever come back to Grimsby, make sure you come watch the mariners! (Grimsby town football club). We always have a great atmosphere and its a great day out!
Its nice you are trying to show the good parts of the town but overall it's a shithole theres no shops open if you want good clothes its the internet or out of town if you want nice food there's probably only 1-2 good places to go so you end up having a day out in hull or lincoln lol there's nothing here literally nothing
Thank you for highlighting the good parts of Grimsby, not just the awful parts that seem to flood youtube
We had a good time and an interesting visit. 👍
Great video, thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. 👋
I appreciate your effort to highlight the more positive aspects of Grimsby. Lately, it feels like the focus has been mostly on the negative areas.
@@powellpker Thank you, everybody was friendly 👍
The lady fishing - giving fish and chip advice is spot on!
It’s always good to get advice from someone in the know. 👍😂

Lived here for 35 years and i never knew Docks Beers was an old church! 🤣
@@davidcurtis187 It was very impressive and we were lucky to be shown around. 👍

Oddly enough the guy narrating the video says the docks would be a good place to make a film. Wasn't Atonenment partly filmed there?
Thanks for info. 👍
Enjoyed your video. Can guarantee you wont find anywhere else in the UK with better Fish and Chips than in Grimsby and Cleethorpes.
May be because you have the freshest fish in the Uk with the shortest distance to the fryers. 🤣

There is so much great history in the area and anything is possible. Thank you for commenting. 👍

@verktic That’s a great tip. I will certainly remember it. 👋
Watching film. No one is earning any money, so no one out spending it. Hence a lot of businesses shut.
I agree and also more and more shopping on the internet. 👋
Nice video. I would like to Ask you something , cuz your accent is different where are u from ?
@@BLADE_PESCOD I’m from Germany and I live in Hertfordshire. Glad you liked the video👍

Clue is in the name everyone who ain't from there has at least a clue before setting off 😂
Haha, we tried to stay balanced. 😅
Indeed - the clue is in the name that we're descended from Vikings - that's what makes us Codheads such bad-asses!
