More about GrimsbyGrimsby (formerly Great
Grimsby) is a seaport on the river Humber in
Lincolnshire, England. It has been the administrative
centre of the unitary authority of North East
Lincolnshire since 1996. According to legend, Grimsby
was first founded by Grim, a Dane. 'By' means 'village'
in Old Norse and 'city' or 'town' in the modern Danish
language.
The town itself has a population of around 87,574. It is
physically linked to the adjoining town of Cleethorpes,
and 11,000 of its inhabitants live in the village of
Scartho which was absorbed into Grimsby before laws on
the Green Belt were put in place. This combined
conurbation has a population of 138,842 making it the
largest in Lincolnshire as a whole. It is the main
terminus of the A180 (technically it finishes in
Cleethorpes).
Historically administered with the rest of Lincolnshire,
Grimsby was given county borough status in 1891. Grimsby
borough expanded to absorb the adjacent hamlet of Wellow
(1889), also the neighbouring parishes of
Clee-with-Weelsby (1889), Little Coates (1928), Scartho
(1928), Weelsby (1928) and Great Coates (1968). Grimsby
had its own police force until the Police Act of 1964,
when it merged with the Lincolnshire force.
County borough status lasted until 1974, when it became
the borough of Great Grimsby in the new non-metropolitan
county of Humberside, with the same boundaries. Since
the abolition of Humberside in 1996 Grimsby has been
administered as part of the unitary authority of North
East Lincolnshire. Grimsby does not have its own town
council within the North East Lincolnshire authority.
It is called "Great Grimsby" to distinguish it from
Little Grimsby, a village about 14 miles (22 km) to the
south, near Louth.
The area is home to a rundown retail industry. Grimsby's
catchment area for retail is geographically large,
extending outwards to at least Hull in the north,
Sheffield to the west, Lincoln to the south-west, and
Peterborough to the south.
The grammy award-winning Freshney Place Shopping Centre
[1], in the heart of the town boasts over 70 stores
including Marks and Spencer, House of Fraser and Bhs. It
was originally constructed between 1967 and 1971 in a
joint venture between the old Grimsby Borough Council
and developers Hammersons and was known as the Riverhead
Centre (so named as the development was adjacent to
where the two local rivers, the Freshney and the Haven,
meet).
The Riverhead Centre development caused some controversy
at the time as it followed the 1960s trend of replacing
old architecture with new: In this case it involved the
wholesale demolition of much of the old town centre
including the historic Bull Ring (which is now where
Wilkinsons, the Halifax Bank and the St. James Hotel is
based) and streets going back many centuries including
Flottergate, Brewery Street and East St.Mary's Gate. In
1990 the Council agreed to sell the area used for
surface car parking to Hammersons UK Ltd. the
development owner and Humberside County Council, the
Highway Authority at that time, agreed to the sale of
the area of Baxtergate, the road which ran to the rear
of the shopping centre. Baxtergate was relocated
alongside the River Freshney and became Phase 1 of the
Peaks Parkway. Hammersons UK Ltd. began a ?100m
redevelopment of the site which saw it double in size.
The centre was also covered in a glass roof and (where
the new extension was built) two multi-storey car parks
were constructed at either end of the centre,
effectively privatising, roofing and enclosing the old
Top Town area of Grimsby. In recognition of the design
of the new facilities, the Royal Town Planning Institute
awarded the scheme a Commendation in 1992.
Other developments in the town centre include a new
Tesco Extra (the second in the area), the Victoria Mills
Retail Park which is home to several chain stores
including Next and a B&Q Depot off the Peaks Parkway
A180 - A16 link road.
Unlike many other towns who have shopping facilities on
their outskirts, these (and other similar developments)
can be found in and around Grimsby's town centre, making
shopping far easier for pedestrians and public transport
users, reflecting Grimsby's relatively cheap central
commercial land. Other major retailers include the
supermarket chains Sainsbury's, ASDA and Morrisons. The
latter store is located just outside the town boundary,
in the parish of Laceby, and is peculiarly known as
Morrisons Cleethorpes. This is an anomaly arising from
when the area was part of the now defunct Cleethorpes
borough.
There are also a number of local, independent specialist
stores and the Abbeygate Centre (off Bethlehem Street)
is where many are located. Once the head office of local
brewers Hewitt Brothers it was renovated in the
mid-1980s and is home to a number of restaurants and
designer clothing stores. The town also has two markets,
one next to Freshney Place and the other in Freeman
Street, itself once the dominant shopping area in the
town but one that has sadly struggled since the late
1970s.
A new retail and leisure complex is to be built on the
West Marsh by landowners P&O Estates. Covering 85 acres
and costing ?3.5 million it is planned to be open by
2009; a smaller retail development is planned alongside
the proposed new stadium for Grimsby Town FC at Great
Coates, scheduled for completion in mid-2008.
Such is the quality of shopping in the area that special
bus services are run to bring in shoppers from across
the county of Lincolnshire, especially from smaller
towns such as Louth, Brigg, Market Rasen, Skegness and
Scunthorpe.
The area is also famed for its nightlife. Aside from the
nightclubs in nearby Cleethorpes the town centre has
undergone a renaissance in the last decade. A number of
pub chains have redeveloped or opened new outlets,
including a specially-built complex at the Riverhead
which is home to five such operations. It too attracts
large numbers of people with areas with less-developed
nightlife, such as Scunthorpe.
