 Welcome to our page of accommodation in Grimsby!
Grimsby is located on the Humber Estuary on the north-east
coast, approximately thirty miles from Hull. Grimsby is easily
reached by road, rail, air or sea and is the main town in North
East Lincolnshire. Grimsby was the world's largest fishing port
in the 19th century. Today, the port is a major centre of food
processing, specialising in the import of Danish and Norwegian
products. Much of the town has been rebuilt with pedestrian malls
and good facilities. Grimsby is traditionally strongly associated
with the sea fishing industry and has the largest fish docks
in the United Kingdom, but as a result of the Cod Wars and reduced
fishing quotas, this industry has been in decline for many years.
In recent years the frozen food industry has become a large part
of Grimsby's economy and new industries such as light engineering,
chemicals and plastics have grown. The port is located only 10
km from the open sea on the Humber estuary . |
