Its so sad to see how low Freeman Street has dropped since I left Grimsby in 1976 to join the Army never to return to my roots and relatives. Happily Retired now and living in Essex never to return to my Birth Town except through your videos and another Grimsby/Cleethorpes Vlogger who drives about the area and I try to remember the Names of the Street/Road they travel.

@@user-TonyUK Thanks for watching much appreciated. That’s why I did this as I was born in Gy and I always name the streets show where I go. Part 2 next Monday thanks again
@@iexplores on your time stamp at approx 41.00 minss, you are walking at the back of GY Rail station and one of the "houses" was in fact a Bakers that I used to help at when I was 12 yrs old (1969), I think the Bakers name was Mr Holmes or Homes but as that was over 50 yrs ago I cannot remember but I am surre you could trace the Name and spelling via older copies of the local GY Evening Telegraph.
Thanks for showing us the TRUTH and letting us form an opinion. Lived there for 48 years. Drove a taxi for 10. Super familiar with every street and pub. Heartbreaking ! ... yep all towns and cities have problems .... but this bad ? Cheers for getting out and uploading.
You should see some of the fly tips in Haringey North London Ian thats nothing to what i have come across and seen working for the Council. Another good video.
It ain't great anymore, but nearly all of the U.K Towns are now falling into disrepair , trouble is all the shops etc that are no longer rented will just fall further into derelict states , no money no repairs :( , thanks for the video mate enjoyed it as always.
@@PorkPieDrone thanks for watching much appreciated yes not like it was like you say money repairs just left. Winds good today drone time. Thanks again
Poor old grimsby It has to much rented property where tenants don't care about anything dumping rubbish in alleyways is a real problem and the council say it's private land so don't want to know 🤔👍🏻
@@iexplores Mad Harry's did indeed start off on Freemo market. They moved across the road to what was once Marks and Spencer. It's so sad to see the shocking state of Grimsby these days. I'm born and bred here and still live here but like many others say, lots of towns like this up and down the country these days, such a shame. Your vids are great, keep them coming 💪
I am trying to find out why Cope street bends up towards oxford street between guildford street and victor street. Was there anything at the oxford street end other than the patch of grass? why else would there be a road there? was it once called something else ?
@@failedrockstar thanks for watching much appreciated. Cope street used to run passed Guildford street and pass the schools. Grass yes shops mostly. Thanks again
@@iexplores no idea why it turns upwards to go towards Oxford street though. It was an access road to the back of the shops that were on Oxford street ?
