Grimsby in General

I have lived in Grimsby all my life, I was born in 1960 near the Peoples Park, and over the last 15 to 20 years it has become very Grim with boarded up properties and what was the main shopping street then was Freeman Street, there was the Market full of life unlike now, it has become A slum, and the council keeps making promises to re-new it and even knock part of it down and construct homes and new shops, but nothing even gets done here, we are also in the top league of the most Obese towns in the area and not only that People are so ignorant of Disabilities when it come to those that are known as hidden Disabilities, and I should know by first hand experience as I ...  Read the complete review

Grimsby. GRIMsby. The name says it all really... Or does it? Underneath the bleak, cloudy/rainy, fish scented surface there really is a great little town. It may not be big and it may not have everything we wish it did but it's not a bad place to live. Firstly, I have just GOT to mention the fish in this town. It's absolutely delicious. I haven't had better fish and chips anywhere. My favourite chippie is down littlefield lane but I have heard rave reviews about a restaurant called Steel's in cleethorpes as well. Freshney place. Named after the river freshney which is a bit dire to be fair but the shopping centre is nice. Not alot of choice but at least ...  Read the complete review

Right I?ll be honest Grimsby isn?t one of the most attractive places to visit, to be honest I wouldn?t advise you to come here because it?s a bit well?.. Grim. But if for some reason life takes you to Grimsby I?ll point out the most attractive features there. ~~~Freshney Place~~~ Even though it?s not one of the largest towns, Grimsby has quite a good medium sized precinct called freshney place. This is one of the only reasons I come to Grimsby, as it has better shops then where I live (30 min away). This has all your main high street stores all under one roof, like your index, and your woolies, pilot, TK Maxx, virgin, HMV, Boots, Bay, Starbucks. And the ...  Read the complete review

Grimsby is a town, which is always put down with out a reason. Grimsby has everything to offer, even more! I was born in Grimsby maternity Hospital and was bought up in Grimsby and still live here just a few years on. When all the dramtic changes went on in Grimsby i was still very young but i have still seen a big change. Grimsby was once a small village, which was founded by Mr Grim as which, the name Grimsby came. His statue is now stood in the grounds of Grimsby College with a few parts missing. Grimsby is known for drunken louts, robberies and crime but where doesn't it go on. Grimsby is the lucky's place for doing the lottery with a ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Grimsby all of my life and I have to say it is quite a nice place to live in. There is a shopping centre called Freshney Place. There are many shops here to choose from, such as Next, Dorothy Perkins, Sports Soccer, JJB, Virgin, Woolworths, Boots, W H Smith, Index, Argos and many others. I very really have to go elsewhere to find what I want. Cleethorpes joins onto Grimsby and is very popular with thousands of tourists every year especially day-trippers from Yorkshire. There is a beach although I wouldn’t recommend swimming in it. There is also Pleasure Island that is a fairly big theme park. It has many big rides and my two kids love it. ...  Read the complete review
