An Overview of North East Lincolnshire
North East Lincolnshire is a small but diverse area on the east coast where the Humber estuary meets the North Sea. The adjoining towns of Grimsby and Cleethorpes form the largest centres of population, with the major container port of Immingham to the north. In contrast, rural communities such as Laceby, Waltham, Aylesby, Irby, Keelby and Wold Newton extend into the attractive Lincolnshire Wolds. Grimsby and many of the villages have the ending -by, showing that the settlements have Scandinavian origins.
The area is well served by roads. It is less than three hours from London by rail and is only a few minutes drive from Humberside Airport. The famous Humber Bridge enables you to reach the ferry port in Hull in less than an hour and is a gateway to the region.
Once famous for its fishing industry, Grimsby has carved a new identity in recent years as a centre for food processing, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals. Cleethorpes continues to develop as a seaside resort, a process started with the advent of the railway in 1845.
