wow . left Grimsby in 86 to join the Army and have never been back into the town centre since. It really has changed for the better. Great memories. My dad received an RSPCA award for saving a dog that had fallen into the riverhead and couldn't get out. Was great to see its all still there .I need to come back on a pilgrimage before I pop me clogs.
Brilliant video. Shows the town in a brilliant light, I've learnt a lot and I was born in the area! The Time Trap Museum and Fishing Heritage Museum I would highly recommend, both excellent museums.
It's not beautiful lol, far from. Its literally like being at the end of the earth. Nothing comes and nobody wants to visit. The shops are crap, the council couldn't care less, Liam Nici the mp is an absolute tool and that's forgetting to mention the drips that live here! This is all coming from a local resident of grimsby. It's a shit hole.
yeah you can see him panning away from broken windows and rampant graffitti. He also didn't go down the road towards ASDA, where the bridge is covered in graffitti. It's an interesting watch but it feels decieving
Grimsby has its issues like pretty much everywhere. This isn't deceiving at all. Luckily we're getting a lot of rejuvenation over the next few years. Lived in other areas across Lincolnshire and they're all the same underneath the surface - not enough attention or funding given to Lincs from central government. The problem with Grimsby imo is too much centralisation in a very small area whilst lacking a weak willed / inefficient council and not enough attention paid to the other commence hubs across the town or cultural places of interest (eg places to want to actually visit). Cleethorpes may look prettier and more enjoyable for a walk but has a lot of the same issues, just with an extra coat of paint.
Love the accent of Grimsby I moved to the Midlands years ago and people still try and work out what my accent comes from very rarely can they do that I always say the difference between Hull and Grimsby is not the bridge it's Hull got the Cod Grimsby got the lovely Haddock you need to do my late husband's town Cleethorpes (Meggie's)
Another great video ! It brought back memories of my visit to Grimsby and Cleethorpes in 2019. My Great Grandfather worked as an Accountant for a Fishing Company there, and my Grandad was born in Cleethorpes. I visited that Library to do some family research. I was impressed with how clean a tidy the area was, much better than Hull !!
The Ross Tiger is NOT the last of the Fishing Fleet you spoke of, The Ross Revenge, a sister ship to the Ross Tiger still exists and maybe it better now known as "Radio Caroline" currently moored in Essex not far from my current location after I left Grimsby to Join the ARMY in 1977, serving both at home and also serving in Northern Ireland and Gibraltar. In fact the Ross Tiger will soon be returning to Grimsby for a boiler refit before returning to Essex. Its always nice to see other viewpoint video "Walk abouts" and there are quite a few now. Sadly due to age and not being a driver I no longer visit Grimsby but still have fond memories of growing up and being educated in Grimsby from my early years on the Nunsthorpe Estate and being Educated at the Nunsthore Infants and Junior school before finishing my Education at Chelmsford Seconday School in 1973, working in Moneysave in Freeman St and Binns in Top Town before switching trades to work at the Barton Ropery and Barton Cycleworks (Falcon Cycles) then came my stint in the Military, after that I left the Army but returned to Gibraltar for a few years to work in the Rock Hotel. I finally settled in Essex as the Winters are a lot milder. Average Snowfall of approx 0 to ONE INCH per year and Summer temperatures of 85 to 95F. All the BEst for your future Vlogs in and arround Grimsby. Tony in Essex, better known as Tony Robinson formerly of Grimsby now residing in Sunny Essex.
Administratively it's North East Lincolnshire, but geographically it's in Lincolnshire, the narrator should have said Northern Lincolnshire which is where it is geographically.
Hi mate, nice footage! Just wondering if I can use some clips from this video for a project im working on? Of course full credit will be given, thanks :D
I live in grimsby. Its an absolute s***hole of a location. Tucked away in an obscure corner of the country, and neglected beyond belief. The only good thing coming out of Grimsby, is the road to other places!!
Mate, That was fucking amazin' . Shit place, lovely people there. Peoples park was my go to when I was lost. watch the ducks kill each other. A beer and music on the phone and just sit and watch. I do Miss GY x
Ferriso is right, it's the Old Clee Church located just behind Carr Lane, which is off Clee Road. The original church building that stands has had extensions added later on but I think the original building itself is something like 11th or 12th century, and is in a very quaint little part of the town. Although it lies right on the boarder of Grimsby and Cleethorpes I think its still considered Grimsby until you get to Clee Road, and I only know this as it actually has a sign telling you it's the oldest remaining building in the town at the entrance to the church.
ok so the rebuilding of St James Square got rid of the fountain that was there, a testament to the towns fishing past, most of Freshney Place is closed, East Marsh is one of the most deprived areas of the country, most of fisherman are now gone due to EU fishing quotas and even after Brexit we still haven't recovered from, so what about Grimsby is still great, you want more, how about the closing of Scatho baths, an olympic size swimming pool in favour of the leisure centre, the National Fishing Heritage centre, once a great museum now a shadow of its past, so I ask you what is so great about a town that was once a thriving town, I lived here most of my life and am saddened by this so stop glorifying something that is no longer there
What we need is small fast boat ferries to ferry people from Hull marina to Grimsby, we are so close to each other but if i wanna get a bus its like what £8 and it take an hour and 45 minutes?. But im also surprised it hasnt been done to ferry workers from Hull to Immingham docks and vice versa because i know people who set off at 4:30am each morning to get from Hull to Immingham docks for work, you would of thought both ABP sites would have invested in a ferry service...
And the cheeky thing is they never even filmed here! Although we did have a part of the 2007 film Atonement staring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy filmed on the docks.
10:20 GY's street skate mecca ~ shit isn't it ? ( i knew a guy who went through a window there ) 12:40 the barge ~ best jukebox in town ( fucking love that place ) 14:00 that row of buildings is " the gaza strip " ( it used to be nightclubs full of drunk chavs ) this is my home town it smells like fish and is sort of crappy , 👍
Because he was filming in a totally respectful and professional manner not hanging around like a bad smell with the sole intention of using the camera to antagonise and wind people up.
Unsurprisingly, you didn't actually go onto the docks itself, only one of the remnants of its past glory. The actually working part of the docks is tiny compared to how it once was. The irony of having a flyover to allow traffic unhindered to go across part of the town being completed in the early 70's, just when the long trains carrying fish to the midlands stopped running. Thanks, in large, to the declining fishing industry, brought on by, not only the cod wars but the EU and their restrictions.
4:00 Couple of thing’s I see that those filthy NED’s and their cans of spray paint have hit this beautiful town hard. And what happened to that Rock Candy store? All the windows smashed? Good grief. Time to bring back public flogging. Otherwise. Wonderful walk about. Very informative. Thank you for your efforts.
Local residents opinion.... its literally a shit hole. Mo ey does get spent but it gets spent in absolutely the wrong places! And the wrong things... About as good as living by the end of the earth.
Yep. I left when I was 20, have lived all over the country since then, as well as working in pretty much every major town and city at some point. Grimsby is decent, actually has some history which many places don't, and it looks better every time I go back.
I've often thought I came from greatness. From a long line of Grimsby fishermen born and bred Grimsby I now get I'm a descendant of Odin. Brilliant.

Cheers from Germany! Great video to get a better view of Grimsby! Hat off!
I live there, you make the place look a lot nicer than it usually is, try Cleethorpes next time it's a little prettier!
Doesn’t it look clean ! ? It looks bigger too. this is deceiving .

Excellent presentation. Thanks for posting!
Should have finished at Docks Beers!
Didn't fancy a walk through the east Marsh then?😅

Enjoyed the Walk- thank you......
Grimsby is in North East Lincolnshire. It’s a Unitary council. Not North Lincolnshire
Administratively it's North East Lincolnshire, but geographically it's in Lincolnshire, the narrator should have said Northern Lincolnshire which is where it is geographically.
6:57 was my last contact. Met a coach out of the from YMCA. I do miss you guys. the CCC
Used to live here as a kid.

The fact one of it's most beautiful buildings is a McDonalds says alot
who cleaned up?

You said about Grimsby Minster being the 2nd oldest building. I'm just curious to which is the oldest, do you know?
I believe the following to be the oldest, Holy Trinity and St Mary's Church, Old Clee, Grimsby.
Ferriso is right, it's the Old Clee Church located just behind Carr Lane, which is off Clee Road. The original church building that stands has had extensions added later on but I think the original building itself is something like 11th or 12th century, and is in a very quaint little part of the town.

Lucky the police didn't ask you why you were video recording and demand your details so they could fit you up for a crime that didn't happen.

@@extremeways2930 Notice there was no footage of the police station, even though it was only about 300 yards away?
