The Grimsby Ice Factory is a unique survivor of the Victorian industrial era. This gigantic ice-making machine, with a footprint of over an acre, is thought to be the earliest and largest known surviving ice factory in the world, and the sole survivor from this period to retain its machinery.
Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust (GGIFT) was founded in July 2010 in response to a series of public meetings, arranged by the Grimsby, Cleethorpes & District Civic Society, to draw attention to the plight of the Grimsby Ice Factory and historic dock peninsula, known locally as the Kasbah.
