Awesome fella ….. there is something I love about Grimsby and cleethorpes . I’m a Londoner but fell in love with this place , yes I love it up there . Lived in London all my life and I’m 53 but would love to retire up there . Oh and what a sunset down by fuller street bridge . Great presentation and a new subscriber from down south …… oh went to see Woking v Grimsby the other day 👍🤣😊😊😊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊. I think the place gets bad press , makes London look like a war zone ……. Keep up great work 😊😊👍👍👍👍

If Grimsby was a hub for tourism, you would make an absolute killing from being a Grimsby tour guide! I love the passion you have for your hometown. It's really sad to see how Grimsby, once such a financially stable and significant industrial town, has since fell into disrepute.

This is my second time coming back to this video. Love it. I moved away a couple of years ago to progress in my desired career but my mind always wanders to Grimsby and Cleethorpes every now and then and I get a flood of nostalgia - I spent years grinding away in the factories on the docks, not very pretty but it gave me a solid work ethic and I got to meet all types of characters from all walks of life. Grimsby's an honest place and the people really make it special.

I love videos like this. I'm from a place that has a reputation as being rough and bleak, so I know what it's like to sort of want to defend your home a little bit. It's honest, and that's what makes this video great. You don't exaggerate, you just give simple little facts as to why it just isn't as bad as people want to think it is. And that's something really mellow and real that I respect. ✊ I'll be sure to stop by Great Grimsby if/when I get the chance! :) And just so you know, that much hydraulic/industrial power is REALLY impressive; I've been to dock towns that completely failed and it shows, but here, it's clear how skilled and smart the people of Grimsby had to be in order to make something on that scale function and be productive enough to turn profit. People always focus on the negative on the surface level, and all these little facts are so great at showing how much there is to appreciate. Much love to you and your town, brother!

A lot has changed in Gy since I left in 1976 to join the Army, but so much is familiar. The Sister ship to the Trawler next to the National Maritime Museum is Radio Caroline which is now Legal and broadcasting to Essex, my adopted home. Freeman St looks dead, but at least the market is still going. Whenever I see a Grimsby KZbin I try and watch them. All the best from Essex, where is seldom snows unlike my childhood memories of Grimsby in the Winter of 1963 when as a child I lived on Second Aveue, Nunsthorpe. Not the Nunny it is now but the newly built estate. Educated at Nunsthorpe schools and Chelmsford Comprehensive now a colledge. First job below the ABC Cinema on Freeman St, then on to Binns Ltd, Mustang Caravan on the Pyewipe before moving to Barton to work in the Ropery and Cycle Works then on to the Military. Now happily retired and spending my days online. Tony in Essex

Great video Lewis - I’m a fellow Grimbarian - The newer smaller tower was built in 1892 - so the Dock Tower - for 40 years - worked and provided hydraulic pressure - you are right that newer technology existed as soon as the last brick was laid - I think Armstrong developed an improved system using weighted accumulators - however I will agree that it is indeed an iconic structure - 170 years old this March 😃

Lewis Crampton I’ve installed a new door and frame on the top of the bridge! Revamped the windows for it. Tbh carry down the old door wasn’t so fun on the scaffolding. We then replaced the panels that are the mock weights for the bridge. I have some pictures somewhere. And my company does a lot of work for the town ground. We have just recently replaced a double entrance doors on front left of the ground. Personally I’m not a football follower but nice to work somewhere with a bit of history to it

Excellent vid. Lived up that way for five years during late 70’s and my teen years. Still have some family just outside. When people ask what is Grimsby like my reply is always ‘It has a rustic charm’ As a person with no ‘hometown belonging’ I’ve adopted Grimsby as where my heart is though life takes me travelling around the world. Strangely coincidental is the fact when my sibling researched our family tree she traced ancestry back to Louth area as shepherds. The Elton John song pretty summed up my teenage love of Grimsby, sand dunes and docks and has often been my go to retort if people dis the town. Typical Grimbo humour with the dead seagull at the beginning of the vid. Lol Got yourself a new subscriber.

It's great hearing about the history, you did a really good job. I was born and grew up there from 94-08 before our family moved to Northern Ireland. I've always wanted to go back and see how it was and you've made me much more interested. Sadly I feel like my memories of the place are tarnished by just how nice NI is. I always felt like Grimsby was really rough, even though we apparently lived in the nice end on Hainton Avenue. Over here everything is so polite and friendly it makes kids swearing at teachers at Havelock almost seem criminal lmao. Thanks for the throwback and history lesson though dude a fantastic video.

Talk about coincidence but I watched this video about 13 hours ago, just before I started my shift as a taxi driver in Grimsby. I'm not sure about the time but during that 13 hours, while sitting on the rank at Grimsby Town Station I saw Lewis walking through the station with a young woman and a large rucksack on his back. Anyway, I think I got his Grimsby video in my recommends because my channel has content about history in Grimsby. If you see this comment Lewis please consider checking out my content out (click my avatar) and let me know what you think. Like you I appreciate that Grimsby has a rich history and it deserves to be celebrated.

isn`t grim part of the name is there because its was some viking guy named Grim? that kinda made the first settlement here? i think that`s the official reason. we even have the "viking path" here nearby right? of course Odin`s village sound better )
