Step back in time on Grimsby’s waterfront

STEP BACK IN TIME ON GRIMSBY’S WATERFRONT.

From medieval Grimsby to the rise of the docks and the people who lived and worked by the water, this tour reveals how the sea has influenced Grimsby’s past right up to the present day.

Expect surprising tales, hidden details, and a fresh perspective on places you may think you already know - you’ll never look at Grimsby’s waterfront the same way again.
