Exploring Grimsby’s connection to the water – Guided history walking tour by Emma Lingard

Grimsby: Exploring the water connection

In this short walk we focus on Grimsby’s connection with the water. Exploring The Haven, and Alexandra Dock, and how these helped shape the economy of the town from the early settlers to present day. Learning about early medieval trades, ship building and the rise to the premier fishing port in the world.
