GRIMSBY’S NEW DOCKS
Area of 37 Acres for Fishing Vessels (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, September 20. A new fish dock, covering 37 acres, which has been under construction at Grimsby for four years, and will cost nearly £1,700,000, will be opened on October 4. This important development at Britain’s largest fish port was sanctioned before the war, but the placing of the contract was delayed first by the outbreak of hostilities and later owing to high costs in the post-war period. The new dock brings the actual area of fish docks to 67 acres. It, however forms only part of the total area of 175 acres enclosed by the new river embankment.
The reclaimed land is being acquired for additional general and coal sidings and future industrial development.
