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.

A.L Hulme's shop in Ashbourne has imposed the 1950s onto a large Queen Anne period house built around 1700 -1710 with giant fluted pilasters. The fish shop was opened in 1929 by Albert Hulme and has remained in his family until this day. More information here: www.ourashbourne.co.uk/place/hulmes-fishmongers?QR=loc7

Neptune and two fishwives, complete with baskets of fish adorn the parapet above the doorway of the former Fish Market on the quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne. The building was completed in 1880 and the sculptor was George Burn. It is now a nightclub.

The old Manchester Fish Market dates from 1873 and has now been developed internally for modern apartments. The external walls survive and gables on High St have four tympana in which are scenes in stone of fishing activities by sculptor Henry Bonehill. The architects were Speakman, Son and Hickson.
