In the mid-19th century, Grimsby docks was perhaps the most modern such facility in Britain, its fishing boom occurring during the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign. Indeed, right up until the 1960s the docks was a lively, thriving place.Sixty years later, and fewer than one hundred of the area's buildings remain; three quarters of these are unoccupied - or impossible to now occupy. Although some regeneration of the part of the docks known as 'The Kasbah' is being pursued, this area of Grimsby is now one of the most deprived wards in the country.Grimsby Docks is an examination of this modern-day industrial landscape through photography and poetry.
