Took a ride out this afternoon and came home via the docks. Still a fair amount going on but parts are like a ghost town.

You can tell why they chose it for a battlefront scene in a movie. Laughing

Some nice arty photos.

I understand Grimsby is where you can weld with extreme precision. Fish finger factory is another matter. Wink

I imagine there's still one person there. Upside down welding to within 4 thou.

Look very shabby and rundown
I wonder who dumped that old triumph there?
probably gypsies or foreign types

Hate watching Victorian architecture go to wrack and ruin. It's so well built and engineered it feels a waste.

Nice pics

Most of the docks is a shit hole, the old ice house wants pulling down before it falls down. A good percentage has already been pulled down and there is a lot of investment going into the area for the wind turbine industry.
95 per cent of the fish that comes into Grimsby these days is landed elsewhere and brought in overland in lorry's.
The old fish dock is now full of yachts instead of trawlers and most of the commercial boats that sail from there are wind turbine transfer boats.
P.S....... I need to get out on my bike more Rolling Eyes
