Having a look at Grimsby.

I fancied going out for the afternoon. Not necessarily for a walk, but just to look at something different. I haven't been to Grimsby in a long time, also don't know much about it apart from the fact that the main industry is fishing. I used to go to a chemical factory there with a tanker, and pick up loads of sulphuric acid. 

I found a quiet car park and put £2.50 in the machine for four hours. I took an old and battered Grimsby street map with me, one that I used for trucking. 

I set off for the Fishing Museum, following the signs through the shopping area. This lady was feeding the gulls. Lots of them came swooping down. A bit like those you see following a tractor ploughing a field. 

This boat is moored next to the Museum, there is a walkway to get on to it from inside the building. 

At the reception there is a big screen showing views from all around the area, and some of the exhibits inside. It's a slide show which changes every few seconds. 

I wanted to go into the museum and was quite happy to pay the entrance of £6, pensioner rate. I wasn't allowed in because I didn't have any plastic to pay the fee. I offered cash but they don't accept it. Oh well. Never mind. 

There is a big Clock Tower at Grimsby Docks so I went to get a picture of it. Years ago groups used to do abseiling down it for charity. Apparently they stopped it and they can no longer do that. I went to the security gate at the entrance to the docks and asked if I could go to the tower to take a photo. The security man said no, it's not allowed. 

I decided to go down a street which might get me a bit closer, without actually going into the docks. The street was full of fish factories. The gulls were circling, looking for some scraps. 

It took me over a bridge which goes over a railway line, so I was able to get a bit of a view. There's the Clock Tower. 

Coming off the end of the bridge I found myself getting close to some boats. I think I found the back way into the docks. I took a few sneaky pictures. 

That's one heck of a boat. It looks really big from the side. 

Now look at it from the front, isn't that amazing. I'm not sure what you call this kind of a boat. It's like two boats joined together. I've just found it on Marine Traffic. It's a crew ship, it's last port of call was Denmark. It's a high speed craft. 

Here is another one. Checking on Marine Traffic one of the photo's shows a close up. You can see the words Technical Marine Support, and there is a picture of it docking up to a North Sea oil rig. 

This is a trawler which was built 40 years ago. 

I'll finish this post here. I have some more photo's and a video which I will put on tomorrow. 

I'm glad I went out today. I've just looked out of the window and it's been snowing. Maybe a day indoors tomorrow then. Thanks for popping in. Have a good weekend.  ilona
