Homelessness & Poverty In Destitute Seaside Town ??

Grimsby is a once booming fishing port on the North East coast of Lincolnshire in England. The town has fallen on very hard times since the sharp fall of its fishing industry from the mid 20th century. It once housed the world’s largest fishing fleet but now the industry is all but decimated. This has left an acute level of deprivation and decline in the town. On some streets 70-80% of shops are shuttered or boarded up, jobs opportunities are few and homelessness is rife. Many locals born from the mid 1970’s onwards are institutionalised by this situation and see poverty as the norm.

I took to the streets and chatted to the warm and friendly locals, asking them what life is like in Grimsby and neighbouring seaside resort Cleethorpes.
