EPW042068 ENGLAND (1933). Grimsby Gas Works and environs, Grimsby, 1933

Railway goods shed - I remember three wheeler 'tugs' (Scammel Scarabs!) hauling goods from here for distribution in the town. Plus steam locos shunting in the yards - Expresses also came thru this yard to go direct to Cleethorpes with Holiday Makers specials from the south. I have seen 'Come to Sunny Cleethorpes' posters on the station at London Kings Cross! They would bypass Grimsby Town Station and go direct thru the goods depot to get to Cleethorpes. The loco would turn on the turntable at Cleethorpes and go direct back down south thru the goods yards again, taking the 'Day Trippers' home again.

This triangle area, surrounded by railways was accessed via Doughty Road and was the storage area for Grimsby Council highways vehicles and aggregate etc etc

Garden Street Signal Box - It is very high - This I believe has a preservation order on it because of its uniqueness... A bit vandalized - But still with us in 2018. It stands next to Grimsby Town station to its left ..

This was the East Lincs Line that went to Louth, Alford, Spilsby, Boston, Spalding and Peterborough - Now the Peaks Parkway!

The railway line to the docks and Cleethorpes

The path to the railway station continued along this route to Doughty Road

This path was a cut thru it went under the railway line to the central town area and the Grimsby Town Railway Station

Gas Works - Remember going there with an old pram to get loose coke ... It really smelt around that area of gas and sulphur!
