The town is at sea level (it's an old fishing port so it helps to be at sea level) and therefore it must be important to keep water where it should be. We guess that this massive Archimedes screw will be used to lift water from an inner overflow area next to the bus station back into the docks.

Grimsby is a town of stark differences. A lot of the town is quite run down but the centre consists of pedestrianized areas and a large, indoor shopping Mall with the usual High Street shops. Our main purposed for visiting the town is to select flooring materials - carpet, laminates or vinyls and we also visited a couple of weeks ago to choose tiles for the bathrooms.
