Grimsby and its fellow towns and villages have a rich and interesting history. From those early settlers who came upon a marsh landscape to the builders of the port, there are stories to tell.
Guided tours
The guided tours have been running for many years and were borne out of my love for history and wanting to share those stories with people.
They started when I began leading walks as part of the Lincolnshire Wolds Walking Festival and walks in northern Lincolnshire were needed.
I developed them from subjects that I had covered when I worked in local television. From there the idea for the book Grimsby Streets was developed, and from there came the walks I lead around the town.
Walks for everyone
It’s not just visitors who come on my walks, but many locals come to share their memories, or learn more about the area.
I love hearing their stories. They bring the place alive and add meaning to buildings, either derelict or missing from the landscape. They evoke so much in people and those memories get woven into the fabric of the tour. So each time the tour can be different.
If you want to learn more about the buildings, the people and the history behind the streets names; if you love history and want to keep memories alive, then these walks are for you.
