The Grimsby Ice Factory, Gorton Street, Grimsby - North East Lincolnshire (UA)
Ice production works dating from 1900-1910 that served the Grimsby fishing fleet, facilitating its development and international renown during the C20. The factory closed in 1990. It is thought that this is the earliest surviving ice factory in Britain, and the sole survivor from this period to retain its machinery. The loss of roof coverings and non-secure openings has exposed the interior, including extensive wooden floors, to increasing levels of weather damage and bird infestation. Sold early in 2022. Proposals for stabilisation and roofing works consented and new uses discussed.
