Cleethorpes' Heritage.

My home town of Cleethorpes is a seaside resort on the east coast of England.  It grew from two small hamlets known as Oole & Itterby.  Itterby had a few shops and Oole was the residential area.
Gradually, both expanded to became "the Thorpes of Clee", or Cleethorpes.  
Earlier this week on a rare sunny day I had a walk around a street called Seaview Street  which was the area called Itterby and quite similar to how it might have looked in the early 1800's.

Here, in Cambridge Street, I glanced to my left and photographed Cleethorpes Town Hall

in the distance.  

This is Seaview Street, a slight uphill walk takes visitors along the street with quite

a mix of shops.

Hermes Antiques, reputed to be the oldest shop in Itterby's main shopping area.

A plaque on the wall tells people about the shop and is part of a series of plaques

to guide people on the Cleethorpes Heritage Trail.   An interesting walk. 

"Marples"' a popular café and once a jewellers shop.

Opposite Marples is "The Counting House", once a bank it's now a Pub & Cafe

The Nottingham House, one of the oldest public houses in Cleethorpes and very popular.

 With a nod to "Robin of Nottingham" this is the pubs sign.

 The Point, an appartment block at the top of the hill.

 Opposite The Point is the Armed Forces Memorial Gate, buil to commemorate
all branches of the Armed Forces and is the focal point for our annual Armed forces Day.

 Parrallel to Seaview Street is Wardle Street.  Some houses have "benefitted" by 
a few bright colours.

 This is the oldest, and only surviving residence from the hamlet of Itteby.

Still in wardle Street, this is the Fishermans Arms public house.
My dad's favourite pub when home from the sea, he was a Grimsby fisherman.

At the rear is a beer garden.

The alley way alonside the pub takes visitors back to Seaview Street.

Back in Seaview Street looking back down the hill, the Fishermans Arms can be 
seen on the left.
