This is Grimsby

Grimsby (also known as Great Grimsby, after its Parliamentary constituency title) is a seaport on the Humber Estuary in Lincolnshire, UK. It has been the administrative centre of the unitary authority of North East Lincolnshire since 1996. According to legend, Grimsby was first founded by Grim, a Danish fisherman. 'By' means 'village' in Old Norse and 'city' or 'town' in the modern Danish language.

The town itself has a population of around 87,574. It is physically linked to the adjoining town of Cleethorpes, and 11,000 of its inhabitants live in the village of Scartho which was absorbed into Grimsby before laws on the Green Belt were put in place. All three areas come under the jurisdiction of the same council, North East Lincolnshire Council. This combined conurbation has a population of 138,842 making it the largest in Lincolnshire as a whole. It is close to the terminus of the A180, which ends in Cleethorpes.

Historically administered with the rest of Lincolnshire, Grimsby was given county borough status in 1891 . Grimsby borough expanded to absorb the adjacent hamlet of Wellow (1889), also the neighbouring parishes of Clee-with-Weelsby (1889), Little Coates (1928), Scartho (1928), Weelsby (1928) and Great Coates (1968). Grimsby had its own police force until the Police Act of 1964 , when it merged with the Lincolnshire force.

County borough status lasted until 1974 , when it became the borough of Great Grimsby in the new non-metropolitan county of Humberside, with the same boundaries. Since the abolition of Humberside in 1996 Grimsby has been administered as part of the unitary authority of North East Lincolnshire. Grimsby does not have its own town council within the North East Lincolnshire authority.
