About Grimsby

Grimsby is a port on the River Humber, a major river and estuary on the East Coast of England. Grimsby has long had a strong assocation with the fishing industry and while the boats have declined, the heritage survives with establishments like the National Fishing Heritage Centre where you can witness the endurance and bravery of the fishermen of Grimsby. This maritime heritage continues with the Port Of Grimsby being an important route to Scandinavia, The Baltic, Germany and Northern Europe.
