Join us in Grant Thorold Park on Sunday 7th July (11am-4pm) for a free exhibition to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the opening of the park (its official opening was on 30th June 1904).The exhibition will tell the story of Grant Thorold Park, and its surrounding streets, from Edwardian times to 21st century. Included in the display will be documents and photographs relating to local churches, shops, and businesses. The exhibition will also examine the impact of the Second World War on the area and pay tribute to some local heroes.
The display will also cover some interesting and unusual stories connected with this part of Grimsby, including the visit by Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, the local cinema known as the “Bug Hut”, and the parish church that started to collapse 15 years after it was built.
