I worked on Pneumonia as a fish lumper for a few years landing the fish before they demolished it, then I worked at Scotprime Seafoods across the road and they also demolished that.

Maybe I should become a steward at BP  


Just don't let me get on a plane with you🤔🤔

The Water Rats swim in the dock everyweek, Alexandra dock as you state KM.
The annual dock swim is to be held in Sept this year.
Grimsby & Clee triclubs also use Alexandra dock south.
I think a kayak club also use it too??

Yeah I'm a GY Tri member and we're in there Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings throughout the summer.  I think the Water Rats use it all year round.  Not sure about a kayak club, we have kayak support as part of our swims so maybe that's what you've seen?  

It's a genuinely fantastic little venue and surprisingly far cleaner than you may imagine or have a perception of.

Sounds great. Thanks for the information Stadium and dhm.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

A few years ago Mr Fenty said the docks was a bad idea because infill was expensive and the fish market had subsidence. I hope lessons have been learned.

Someone posted that it could take several years for new foundation to settle before stadium construction can begin. It does not make sense when the flats site is only 300 metres away. The Freemen will probably build houses on their land after the club signs a deal with ABP, and that will be another relocation opportunity lost.

Pity they didn't plan properly as they could have used rubble as infill.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Agree it's a great venue.
It's Grimsby canoe club who use it too.

Once upon a time both the docks and the Freemo flats were all owned by the state. Co-ordinated planning might have been a tad easier.

Many years ago I was on a plane heading to Minorca when the galley at the back of the aircraft caught fire and we had to make an emergency landing in Toulouse, fire engines following us down the runway and all that  (true story)
