MEMORIES OF THE DOCKS

Do you have memories of visiting the docks as a child?
Have family members passed on their memories to you of their time on the docks?

As part of our project to capture and collect people’s memories of Grimsby docks, we are hoping to build a ‘word cloud’ which will show words that people have submitted to the project. We will gather these words together in a picture which will show users of the website what words people link most to their memories and experiences of the docks.

If you would like to submit a word or words to the project, please email memories@thekasbah.co.uk

The Peterson’s project has had the chance to interview people who spent their lives down docks and worked in the smokehouses and fish merchants of Grimsby.

Memories are a powerful thing. When we share our memories with others, we take them on a journey to look at the world from a new point of view.

Whilst restoration works can bring Peterson’s Smokehouse and Building 89 back to life in a new and exciting way, by collecting memories of these buildings we can help to preserve the spirit of what came before. Through these memories we can create a snapshot in time and celebrate the incredible heritage of Grimsby.

Listen to the voices coming out of the smoke…
