First of all - this may not be the correct spelling.

Just seen an enlightening feature on current BBC NEWS and the fight (it is at Grimsby Docks) to save it as a Heritage building. Looks like it was used for ice making to preserve fish.

Does anyone have any memories of this?

I worked down docks for about 6 months and it wasn't until about 2-3 months ago that this area was called the Kazbah.

So what you're saying is that the Ice Factory on the Fish Docks was used for making ice to preserve fish? Interesting theory.....

I watched it today. What a waste that area is. This sort of neglect simply doesn’t happen in most towns and cities. Not sure who is to blame but most seem to point the finger at ABP.

Stick the new ground on it etc....

You need to get yourself to some Town games

My parents both worked on the docks many moons ago and I'm sure I've heard mention of an area called the kasbah. I caught the news report at lunch time and it was interesting to see those stores which have been untouched and unused for decades!

A pity the land is going to waste and is unused at present, but ABP hold huge amounts of land such as this and it isn't in their interests to divest themselves of it if they can potentially flog it off for a lot more money in the future. Another example of a publicly-owned entity privatised by Thatcher which is now owned by investment banks and foreign wealth funds.
