Awesome fella ….. there is something I love about Grimsby and cleethorpes . I’m a Londoner but fell in love with this place , yes I love it up there . Lived in London all my life and I’m 53 but would love to retire up there . Oh and what a sunset down by fuller street bridge . Great presentation and a new subscriber from down south …… oh went to see Woking v Grimsby the other day 👍🤣😊😊😊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊. I think the place gets bad press , makes London look like a war zone ……. Keep up great work 😊😊👍👍👍👍
This is my second time coming back to this video. Love it. I moved away a couple of years ago to progress in my desired career but my mind always wanders to Grimsby and Cleethorpes every now and then and I get a flood of nostalgia - I spent years grinding away in the factories on the docks, not very pretty but it gave me a solid work ethic and I got to meet all types of characters from all walks of life. Grimsby's an honest place and the people really make it special.
Wow Lewis. What a great job you made promoting our beloved town. As a Grimbo living in the United States, this brought back a whole stack of memories. My wife is American and she lived in the U.K. for 17 years and so we are finishing our years in New England now. Thanks for banging the gong for anyone who'll listen . You even taught me a few things. Please please please take extreme care in the " Stans " and watch your back at all times bud. Thanks.
Great video. I've been to Grimsby as a tourist this summer and I found it absolutely beautiful. I even made a short video of things I liked in this town :D Most of the locals were shocked when I told them I really enjoy my time there tho
If Grimsby was a hub for tourism, you would make an absolute killing from being a Grimsby tour guide! I love the passion you have for your hometown. It's really sad to see how Grimsby, once such a financially stable and significant industrial town, has since fell into disrepute.
haha thanks! it’s a wonderful place really, just had a hard few years. i’m sure it’ll bounce back with plenty of new green energy industry heading our way!
Came across Grimsby in TruckSimulator2, obviously had to research this town i have never heard of. Lovely video really enjoyed it. Wish they would find some use for the old industrial brick buildings, they are gorgeous.
What’s so great about Great Grimsby? 1111am 19.3.23 i am surprised he didnt get pulled for filming around the docks. allegedly security sensitive big wigs have a job of driving about all day telling you not to film or photograph the place..
I love videos like this. I'm from a place that has a reputation as being rough and bleak, so I know what it's like to sort of want to defend your home a little bit. It's honest, and that's what makes this video great. You don't exaggerate, you just give simple little facts as to why it just isn't as bad as people want to think it is. And that's something really mellow and real that I respect. ✊ I'll be sure to stop by Great Grimsby if/when I get the chance! :) And just so you know, that much hydraulic/industrial power is REALLY impressive; I've been to dock towns that completely failed and it shows, but here, it's clear how skilled and smart the people of Grimsby had to be in order to make something on that scale function and be productive enough to turn profit. People always focus on the negative on the surface level, and all these little facts are so great at showing how much there is to appreciate. Much love to you and your town, brother!
This is really well done; very direct style, very honest but also clearly with a lot of love for Grimbo. I am from Cleethorpes myself but have lived in other places most of my life, starting in Brigg, then Laceby, then Preston, Durham, Newcastle, London, Kuwait, Beijing and now Jakarta, Indonesia. I am close to retirement and wondering if I should actually come back. There are many reasons I don't want to, but your video made me just that little bit more homesick. Thanks for this video, young man, I will sibscribe and see what you have been up to. UTM!
Great video Lewis - I’m a fellow Grimbarian - The newer smaller tower was built in 1892 - so the Dock Tower - for 40 years - worked and provided hydraulic pressure - you are right that newer technology existed as soon as the last brick was laid - I think Armstrong developed an improved system using weighted accumulators - however I will agree that it is indeed an iconic structure - 170 years old this March 😃
Excellent vid. Lived up that way for five years during late 70’s and my teen years. Still have some family just outside. When people ask what is Grimsby like my reply is always ‘It has a rustic charm’ As a person with no ‘hometown belonging’ I’ve adopted Grimsby as where my heart is though life takes me travelling around the world. Strangely coincidental is the fact when my sibling researched our family tree she traced ancestry back to Louth area as shepherds. The Elton John song pretty summed up my teenage love of Grimsby, sand dunes and docks and has often been my go to retort if people dis the town. Typical Grimbo humour with the dead seagull at the beginning of the vid. Lol Got yourself a new subscriber.
A lot has changed in Gy since I left in 1976 to join the Army, but so much is familiar. The Sister ship to the Trawler next to the National Maritime Museum is Radio Caroline which is now Legal and broadcasting to Essex, my adopted home. Freeman St looks dead, but at least the market is still going. Whenever I see a Grimsby RUclips I try and watch them. All the best from Essex, where is seldom snows unlike my childhood memories of Grimsby in the Winter of 1963 when as a child I lived on Second Aveue, Nunsthorpe. Not the Nunny it is now but the newly built estate. Educated at Nunsthorpe schools and Chelmsford Comprehensive now a colledge. First job below the ABC Cinema on Freeman St, then on to Binns Ltd, Mustang Caravan on the Pyewipe before moving to Barton to work in the Ropery and Cycle Works then on to the Military. Now happily retired and spending my days online. Tony in Essex
thanks james!! i thought it was about time i made something about the area. i still missed tonnes of stuff out so i expect there’ll be some similar stuff to this in the future!! thanks again for always tuning in.
I've only just seen this. Always fond about learning history, I've lived in Grimsby since I was 2, it's been 20 years now. Cracking video mate, enjoyed it very much!
Grimsby is beautiful !!!! I live in Linconl, Nebraska. Lancaster County .. 🇺🇸 i I would love to live in Grimsby !! I love the docks and the pigeons and the birds singing 😂 Ive heard about Grimsby before ! Believe me if they need that bridge open they can fix it !! Like in war time or uptake in business ! You never know 😂😂
Lewis Crampton I’ve installed a new door and frame on the top of the bridge! Revamped the windows for it. Tbh carry down the old door wasn’t so fun on the scaffolding. We then replaced the panels that are the mock weights for the bridge. I have some pictures somewhere. And my company does a lot of work for the town ground. We have just recently replaced a double entrance doors on front left of the ground. Personally I’m not a football follower but nice to work somewhere with a bit of history to it
One Cut Joinery oh buzzing!! thanks for sharing the details, i’d love to be involved in something directly for the town. would love driving past it thinking “i did that!” all the time
I did a photography project not long back and the whole thing was based around the ross tiger and corporation bridge. Grimsby is such a nice place if you go to the right places.
Absolutely fantastic! I have learnt more about Great Grimsby, than I ever have from being born bread and starved from that place. Great video and thank you.
Hi bud. You just brought a tear to my eye. I'm from Grimsby living in the United States but I still think about the people an family members I left behind.
Mr. 'Phet the Brothers Grimsby was not filmed here and Sasha Cohen visited for a couple of hours and stayed in one pub in the worst area of the town for his research. There was a petition set up, which I signed, to have the towns name removed from the film as it was just a crap joke at the towns expense.
@@cloverite I'm sure, but one of the unintended results is that it got the name of Grimsby out in the world. I'm curious by nature and started researching the place. I found this video and others and some articles and now I follow Grimsby Town FC from across the pond. I'm sure I can't be the only one! 👍🏾
Mr. Phet. In the film brothers in grimsby they sound like yorkies which in term sounds like a Mexican to an American. Both of which are forbidden over our boarders haha 😄. But in all seriousness grimsby is like a marriage, sometimes you hate it but you will always be there to go home too. Grimsby and proud
It's great hearing about the history, you did a really good job. I was born and grew up there from 94-08 before our family moved to Northern Ireland. I've always wanted to go back and see how it was and you've made me much more interested. Sadly I feel like my memories of the place are tarnished by just how nice NI is. I always felt like Grimsby was really rough, even though we apparently lived in the nice end on Hainton Avenue. Over here everything is so polite and friendly it makes kids swearing at teachers at Havelock almost seem criminal lmao. Thanks for the throwback and history lesson though dude a fantastic video.
It’s a great place but definitely has to be experienced much more deeply than just having a look around! I don’t think you could compare Grimsby with Northern Ireland, it looks like a dream out there haha! But I love Grimsby because I’m from here and I’m proud to be - I’m sure if I grew up elsewhere then I wouldn’t feel so fond of this area in particular. This is more about helping people from the area appreciate where they come from rather than telling the world that Grimsby is the best!
Hi Lewis .. i'm a 'Crampton' too .... lived in Cleethorpes for the first 48 years of my life ..... any vague relation ? Nice upload ... regards from Cornwall. PS, my Dad was the chief engineer on the Tiger for many years.
Don’t think so - my family all comes from Newark. Interesting link though! Interesting that he worked on the Ross Tiger, it’s a wonderful relic (although neglected) Cheers!
@@LewisCrampton absolutely lmao. Thank you doing what you did about Grimsby, it was really interesting learning about the history of the town. It's inspired me to learn more about it, so thank you!
Lewis this was wonderful and so comprehensive thank you, However one famous export from Grimsby missing on that mural wall of fame was Lana Pillay born at 108 Guildford street in 1959 and who went on to world domination with two chart hits Pistol in my pocket (produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman) and "Human Nature" with Gary Clail and starred in "The Comicstrip Presents" with French and Saunders and took the lead in the movie "EAT the Rich, which also featured Paul McCartney Robbie Coltrane Rik mayal and Angie Bowie. Check her out here on RUclips and her brand new RUclips channel"Lanah be lit and learning".
Nice video mate. I am planning buy a house near Yarborough and off Cromwell road. Would you recommend the area? I am moving from Sheffield to Grimsby soon. Cheers
dude awesome my mother is from grimsby cleethorpers my name is chris i live in canada she immigrated at age 14 to canada i love to see the history my family is from i have seen the docks myself and it feels so British as i noticed someplace in the uk feel more ,modern today. but the football club wtf lol ppl scrapping in the stands plastic pints at the pub so awesome to experience . nice video man
Nah mate. Grim was grim the fisherman from the the Norse tale "havelok the Dane." In which he rescued the baby havelok who went on to be king. Hence the statue that used to be outside the college. Spot on with the by though.
That story a good as it is, is almost certainly a myth. The real reason my well have to do with a character called Grym (named for Odin), but if it is nothing is known about him, let alone his profession. But the real story is most likely that presented in this video.
@@GW-jw9vs well yeah, we know it's just a story because the history books record no king havelock. But it is the story that the town takes its name from.. The names havelock and goldborow are still seen alongside the name grim on the towns seal today.. The Grimstone in grimsby matches the havelock stone in Lincoln, which is also named in the story.. There is an old norse legend that says grimm was one of several names odin used when travelling incognito among mortals. So there is a possible tie in there.. But it is 100% grim the fisherman that grimsbys named after.
@@bombercountyblues I am well familiar with the story and the stones but they were probably named after the fact. I would love to believe the story personally but am sceptical about myths with no supporting evidence.
@@GW-jw9vs I'm not saying the story's true.. just that the town does take its name from the story.. i mean,if a legend had to true for a place to be named after It, I wouldn't wanna visit devils canyon..
@@bombercountyblues the story is around 1300 and the town was settled in the 10th century and is recorded as Grimsby in the 11th. That's why I don't have much faith the connection is real. If only we could go back and see.
I don't think I have heard such positivity about Grimsby in my life. I think you may have rosy specs on. I used to live in the mill so agree it's a good view though. 😁
Talk about coincidence but I watched this video about 13 hours ago, just before I started my shift as a taxi driver in Grimsby. I'm not sure about the time but during that 13 hours, while sitting on the rank at Grimsby Town Station I saw Lewis walking through the station with a young woman and a large rucksack on his back. Anyway, I think I got his Grimsby video in my recommends because my channel has content about history in Grimsby. If you see this comment Lewis please consider checking out my content out (click my avatar) and let me know what you think. Like you I appreciate that Grimsby has a rich history and it deserves to be celebrated.
cheers mate! that’s a crazy coincidence haha, we got a taxi home too - imagine if we got into yours! will take a look at your channel now - i know i’m not the only one to be proud of where i’m from but it’s definitely a bit rare nowadays. glad to hear from others that feel the same way!!
isn`t grim part of the name is there because its was some viking guy named Grim? that kinda made the first settlement here? i think that`s the official reason. we even have the "viking path" here nearby right? of course Odin`s village sound better )
Indeed!! looking forward to getting the new season underway. will unfortunately be away for the first few pre-season friendlies but always love watching them play early. could be an exciting year!
Hey! I'll hopefully be back filming in the new year, but 2019 has been a bit of a crazy one for me and not had much chance to film stuff, although I've been travelling plenty! Thanks for the support!
it sounded like an incredibly difficult job. was known at the time as being the most dangerous Peacetime occupation in the world!! (job outside of war)
If your a teenager at Grimsby Then you got a lot to see Its either your a chav A normal person Or your fighting with the chavs because they feel like they want to hurt you for no real reason Yes it’s not bad Buts it’s not the best

well performed LEWIS ... what a great oration about our great town ! 2021 !
Cheers!! Glad you enjoyed
Left in 2004 but Grimsby will always be home to me. Great vid
This was really positive - thank you
Absolutely brilliant...love this video...top stuff 👍🏻
Knew Grimsby well in the 50-60s. Docks stacked out with trawlers. North wall choc a block with boats. So sad to see today.
I know grimsby pretty well, I'm a southerner but my dads from hull and my grandparents lived in cleethorpes for years so always visited grimsby
it’s a cracking place!
My Son owns a pub in Grimsby, “The Rutland Arms” so l have to visit occasionally.
Excellent vid. Lived up that way for five years during late 70’s and my teen years. Still have some family just outside. When people ask what is Grimsby like my reply is always ‘It has a rustic charm’
As a person with no ‘hometown belonging’ I’ve adopted Grimsby as where my heart is though life takes me travelling around the world.
Strangely coincidental is the fact when my sibling researched our family tree she traced ancestry back to Louth area as shepherds.

Absolutely fantastic! I have learnt more about Great Grimsby, than I ever have from being born bread and starved from that place. Great video and thank you.
Ace! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
Grimsby really is a mixed bag. Because parts of it are beautiful and really something special. Other parts are absolutely shocking.

Check her out here on RUclips and her brand new RUclips channel"Lanah be lit and learning".

Next time you're in town, come and meet us at our East Marsh United Community group!
Nice video mate. I am planning buy a house near Yarborough and off Cromwell road. Would you recommend the area? I am moving from Sheffield to Grimsby soon. Cheers
I actually live not far from there - it's a decent area! Is it the Willows area, or nearer to town centre?
I loved this till you started on football lol im moving to Grimsby soon so wanted to know about area. Great video xx
Haha it’s a big part of the town! (But don’t mention it when you arrive as it’s been a horrendous year for the team...) thanks! Enjoy
@@LewisCrampton Horrendous doesn't even cut it mate

The building at 1min 48 always reminds me of a Mexican building for some reason

im kurdish i live in grimsby im new in here
Hey! I’ve been to Kurdistan too and I loved my time there. Welcome to Grimsby!
@@LewisCrampton Thank you very much🖤🌸
Nah mate. Grim was grim the fisherman from the the Norse tale "havelok the Dane." In which he rescued the baby havelok who went on to be king. Hence the statue that used to be outside the college. Spot on with the by though.
That story a good as it is, is almost certainly a myth. The real reason my well have to do with a character called Grym (named for Odin), but if it is nothing is known about him, let alone his profession. But the real story is most likely that presented in this video.
@@GW-jw9vs well yeah, we know it's just a story because the history books record no king havelock. But it is the story that the town takes its name from.. The names havelock and goldborow are still seen alongside the name grim on the towns seal today.. The Grimstone in grimsby matches the havelock stone in Lincoln, which is also named in the story.. There is an old norse legend that says grimm was one of several names odin used when travelling incognito among mortals. So there is a possible tie in there.. But it is 100% grim the fisherman that grimsbys named after.
@@bombercountyblues I am well familiar with the story and the stones but they were probably named after the fact. I would love to believe the story personally but am sceptical about myths with no supporting evidence.
@@GW-jw9vs I'm not saying the story's true.. just that the town does take its name from the story.. i mean,if a legend had to true for a place to be named after It, I wouldn't wanna visit devils canyon..
@@bombercountyblues the story is around 1300 and the town was settled in the 10th century and is recorded as Grimsby in the 11th. That's why I don't have much faith the connection is real. If only we could go back and see.
I don't think I have heard such positivity about Grimsby in my life. I think you may have rosy specs on. I used to live in the mill so agree it's a good view though. 😁
finally!"!
this is my hometownn
Love it here!
Talk about coincidence but I watched this video about 13 hours ago, just before I started my shift as a taxi driver in Grimsby. I'm not sure about the time but during that 13 hours, while sitting on the rank at Grimsby Town Station I saw Lewis walking through the station with a young woman and a large rucksack on his back.
Anyway, I think I got his Grimsby video in my recommends because my channel has content about history in Grimsby. If you see this comment Lewis please consider checking out my content out (click my avatar) and let me know what you think. Like you I appreciate that Grimsby has a rich history and it deserves to be celebrated.
cheers mate! that’s a crazy coincidence haha, we got a taxi home too - imagine if we got into yours!
will take a look at your channel now - i know i’m not the only one to be proud of where i’m from but it’s definitely a bit rare nowadays. glad to hear from others that feel the same way!!
No I want to see a game in Grimsby 😂
Great video, such a shame about the fishing x
Very proud to be a Grimberian
indeed! absolutely brilliant town
Fancy picking me up from buxton bring me back to east marsh haha
Would be even better if you could spell Grimbarian correctly
ElsieJoy Davis spell*
@@iDartmoors ...???? spell is spell?
isn`t grim part of the name is there because its was some viking guy named Grim? that kinda made the first settlement here? i think that`s the official reason. we even have the "viking path" here nearby right? of course Odin`s village sound better )
At school we were told about Grim and Havelock
the yardbirds is down freeman street
any spots tho?
Part 2 pls.
Lol I watching this and being like I know that place
Good signings for town Lewis. Potential takeover is interesting.
Indeed!! looking forward to getting the new season underway. will unfortunately be away for the first few pre-season friendlies but always love watching them play early. could be an exciting year!
I live here
Grimsby town never play home they always play away because blundell park is in cleathorps
Grimsby and Cleethorpes are practically the same place.
Where are you Lewis?
Hey! I'll hopefully be back filming in the new year, but 2019 has been a bit of a crazy one for me and not had much chance to film stuff, although I've been travelling plenty!
Thanks for the support!
John Hurt is not a Grimbarian. He attended the art school but he was from Chesterfield.
Omg my mum works were u walked and a asked did she see u and she did
I live in Grimsby too, (not the dirty part) but how do you know all this???
I wish i had a british passport to travel visa free unlike a south African passport we need visas for lots of countries
if you cant get a week in the carribian grimsbys better than nothing ~arnold rimmer , red dwarf
I bet your glad your not a fisherman!
it sounded like an incredibly difficult job. was known at the time as being the most dangerous Peacetime occupation in the world!! (job outside of war)
@@LewisCrampton yeah it is a risk assessment nightmare, whats that tv show called, deadliest catch or something, mental!
Ah the camera seemed to be mainly focused on the commentator rather than on Grimsby itself.
Better than Hull is why
If your a teenager at Grimsby
Then you got a lot to see
Its either your a chav
A normal person
Or your fighting with the chavs because they feel like they want to hurt you for no real reason
Yes it’s not bad
Buts it’s not the best
11:39 surprised you didn't some begging for money in there
Is Grimsby in eriteria
You're funny. Did you mean Eritrea?
Why do people say Iceland ruined fishing in Grimsby e u did a lot of that
