I was 13 and I lived in North somercotes then. But every Saturday I would go into Grimsby on the first bus and come back on the last one. Happy times.

I've just found a great piece about Grimsby and when I was in my teens would catch the Lincolnshire road car bus to Grimsby from my home town of Louth . I use to love the journey going through the villages . Thank you Geoff Blanchard for posting this .

A great video, ironically I moved from Grimsby to York in about 1984, but Grimsby is my home town and I have great memories of growing up in the Town, a lot of thing have changed over the years some for the better and some for the worst but I’m still proud of my home town and the place I grew up in. Thank you for sharing you memories with us all.

GY & Clee were great places to grow up in the 80's - best years of our lives, but we left in 87. Does seem to have gone backwards but you can say that about most places now.

Geoff Blanchard A beautiful ilttle house and garden and the lady in blue reminded my gran. Thanks so much for sharing. I was 4 at the time of this video and lived on a river barge on Alexandra Docks! On the Mill side . The Shnapps barge was a pub on the opposite side where we went for Sunday dinners and my Birthday! Similar to the Barge in town, the latter is still going as a pub, the Shnapps barge is unfortunately under the water decaying and my busy dockside is now ejpty of boat livers. The Mill is flats though! :)

Although I have not been there as I live in Kent and am sadly disabled too, I do know where Grimsby is though; along with Cleethorpes and Immingham as well; as I have seen it on maps though. Parts of Lincolnshire of course; hopefully I guess the name Humberside has now been banished forever of course too. Should not really have been put with what is now the East Riding of Yorkshire at all somehow really! Thank you anyway.
