The Grimsby docks area continues to support a wide range of fish and seafood processing businesses. I was surprised to see that there was a good number of active smokehouses which were recognisable by the smoke vents on the roof. These are on the Riby Street premises of Premier Seafoods. The tails to point them away from the wind are certainly in need of a little attention.

John Bygrave. Ltd. Fish Dock Road, Grimsby. The business was boot and shoe manufacture and sales, with particular emphasis on seaboots. The shop premises seem to have been built in 1906-07 and are now occupied by a workwear business that has been there since 1926.

A Cleethorpes train pauses at Grimsby. The derelict Garden Street signal box is an ugly specimen with the wooden cabin perched on a massive brick pillar that contained the interlocking.

A small corner of the building housing the Trustee Savings Bank in Grimsby. Decorative details such as this are sadly lacking from modern architecture.

New lift towers attached to the old footbridge at Grimsby Station. The Transpennine service is heading from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes.
