The Fishing Heritage Centre tells the story of Grimsby's fishing industry, letting you climb aboard a restored trawler, the Ross Tiger, to discover its history. Inside, the museum's collections take you step into the past, and a changing programme of events and exhibitions includes a current open photography exhibition celebrating local people and places, running with free entry. There's also the Galley Cafe for hot drinks, cakes, breakfast and lunch. It suits visitors interested in maritime and local history. The centre sits in North East Lincolnshire, close to Grimsby Town station 0.4 miles away and Cleethorpes beach 2.7 miles away, with 25 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
