Nice little "audit" of Grimsby. As you say, it's pretty much the same as any town centre now. I moved here from Surrey 7 years ago, and the villages on the outskirts are lovely. Keep it a secret, though, as we don't want any more Southerners finding out!!
Finally a more balanced appraisal of Grimsby. My sister lives there in 2007 and when I went there to see her I remember thinking it seemed like a decent area. Yet the recent onslaught of RU-vid videos on how bad Grimsby is, would suggest otherwise. But that's because on those videos they are all going to Grimsby's most deprived area and only filming the worst streets. Since they know that by being extreme they can pull more views, that's why they do it. Not as often do we get someone willing to take the middle ground like yourself, rather than chasing after views. Nice Video, Macc man.
They've been doing the so called regeneration at the Riverhead for over 3 years and it's still not finished. They should have left the bus station there.
