Grimsby 1994 Part 1

In 1994 Phil and Steve (me) made this video driving around Grimsby on Phils Triumph 750 Trident. In this first part we go down Boulevard Avenue, Dudley Street, Bethlehem Street, past the Town Hall, Freeman Street and onto the docks.

This has made my day. I lived in GY ‘89-‘98. Best years of my life with my beloved late husband and our two children who were born there. My daughter was born in ‘94. I’m sending her this. Looking forward to more. ❤️

""Crossing won't be there long"" 22 years later it's still there 😂

Great video lots of memories now i really feel old 🤪 and our family name was mentioned Siddles tool shop 👍

[@britthewit]

I've been out of the Country since 76, came back once in 1980. It was neat to see all the old streets again. Thanks for your time.

[@alexwortley440]

It’s lit 2021, the towns barely changed

[@paulwortley2624]

Neither have the cars ! Great name by the way

[@robotfishFX]

Crazy to see. You can tell they made the video specifically to be a time capsule. Mentioning all the things that are set to change. And I wouldn’t mind owning a few of those cars today:

[@morgansifer]

My god, how little has changed in 17 years

[@sparklywastaken1426]

Do you think? I can really see the decline in the video. Everything just looked nicer. It’s all a messy shit hole now, everywhere.

I love grimsby! My dad told me about it as I showed him this video, he said he was 6 when it looked like this! It still looks amazing.

[@extremeways2930]

Thank you. A real trip down memory lane.

[@Buzza18]

Wow, i love that people captured the town back in the 90's. I was only born in 1990 and theres really not many changed. Weird to see some old shops etc. Cheers for uploading

[@iAMChrisCC]

Thanks for posting, this is how I remember the town too.

[@yellowbelly06]

Terrific set of videos, brings back many memories. Amazing how much still looks the same yet how much has changed. I'd forgotten about Texas Homecare, Solaglas and Kevark and the old Grimsby Motors garage where Tesco now is. Even the little things bring back smiles; the different one-way system in Pasture Street and orange and white GCT buses. Thanks for posting!

[@scorchedbee]

Great video! “This will be a roundabout soon” Some interesting changes and memories there.

[@andygy2011]

Wow blast from the past gy was great back then, loved the docks so many good time's and memories, thank's for the video

I need to see Grimsby in the mid 70's and early 80's again.

[@imhandyarry9006]

Hell yeah

[@SteeeveO]

it would just be the same as the 94 version but with older cars! Probably exactly the same in 2021 (I left in 87). The only place where a Vauxhall Chevette is the car of choice. Love the place.

[@inh92]

Grimsby was a very paranoid place in 94!

[@paulosborne7874]

as soon as you turned the bike around i knew that was macauly st school, lived in gy all my life , lived down cromwell road for a few years used to go to grandways when we were kids

[@alanwood7373]

Shows you how the town has changed. I didn't realize that presto site is where Lidl is now at the market hotel.

[@billyb5059]

The market hotel was where Tesco's is now

[@stuhouchin6392]

Are we being followed?

[@StewartWaddell]

A lot less traffic back then

[@nickhyde420]

1994 is better than now. Best days.

[@rockhillbilly1]

Very funny with the voice overs and saying what wont be around and what will be a roundabout, like the railway crossing, thats still there and freman st/hainton ave traffic lights still there no roundabout. great vids

[@THEBIGMANGY]

[@dean1039]

That's the same for the entire country.

[@mariner4ever]

Everybody saying how nothing has really changed - I work on the docks at a big bakery and when they first drive on until they then turn left, literally every building on both sides have gone there is note just nothing there on either side, really sad. 😔 There is also now a gatehouse before you get to the first roundabout where you have to show ID to get on.

[@marcusskidmore6913]

Nowt's changed, still Grim(sby).

[@lisabroderick1252]

How things have changed good to see x

[@brizlee]

It used be be a large garage repair business, then Grandways then Presto. That building was pulled down and the new Lidl built.

[@scottharries2243]

Soon as the video started I know it was Lawson ave, lived down there for almost 30 years at number 36, just were the video started

[@slickrick320]

Wow. No major development in Grimsby in 24 years. It will be still the same in another 24 years. Lol.

[@slickrick320]

Yeah, totally agree.

[@olcapone3039]

EVERYTHING SO SQUARE

[@cirius32832]

You started in Macaulay or Lister Street right?

[@brizlee]

, Yes, you're right, We started in Lawson Avenue, off Macaulay Street.

[@micksharman9327]

Not long after the old underground subway was gone, and Ellis Way was built.

[@terencekreft482]

That's starting on Lancaster Avenue isn't it? I used to live on Lawson Avenue one street over in the late 70s.

[@brizlee]

Starts in Lawson Avenue, between Lancaster Avenue and Wharton Street, where I grew up.

[@imhandyarry9006]

I was brought up in Carnforth Crescent

They are developing it, knocked down the high raised flats and comber place a few years ago, it will soon be gentrified

[@jackssmirkingrevenge9365]

three observations from my short time in grimsby; 1. its poor, very poor. people are nice, but good lord its deprived 2. its completely flat. everyone rides bicycles because there are literally no hills for miles. biggest hill i saw there was a grass bank on which some monument is built. other than that, yeah.. flat 3. if you dont like immigration then grimsby is for you. its overwhelmingly white, and yes that is a good thing. taxis and corner shops are both owned by white people. i once went into a corner shop near the mini tesco and asked for change for the phone box - the nice lady offered me the use of her shop's phone - simply wouldnt happen in birmingham where im from.. youd be lucky to get the change
