Our History
North East Lincolnshire has a rich history and heritage, dating back beyond the Vikings to the early settlers. Each of our three main towns is unique.
Grimsby – the founding town of the area, dating back to Viking times, and the centre of the fishing industry in Lincolnshire for years.
Immingham – the place where the Pilgrim Separatists left our shores for the first time, years before leaving for the new world.
Cleethorpes – the height of fashion for the Victorian visitors to take the waters.
