Earlier this year I had a few walks around Cleethorpes with Popcorn and photographed a few places that our visitors may not have seen. Some out of the way places and some near the seafront but at a time when the visitors will have gone home.
I think I can call these places "Secret Cleethorpes"!
I mentioned these photo's to a good friend of mine, who lives in America, and she expressed an interest in them. So they are posted for you Ann.
The first set are residential areas plus a few business areas not that far from the seafront.

Thank you ever so much for this wonderful photo tour! I’ve taken my time to study each picture and I think I’ve got a good idea now of your town. The photos of the rail station are magical and you have certainly captured the bigger than life murals beautifully. It looks to me as if there is plenty to see and do for both residents and visitors in your lively and colorful seaside community. Thank you again, David. You have made my day! All my best, Ann
ReplyDeleteIm so pleased you were able to see these photo's Ann, Popcorn and I had a lovely evening taking the ones at sundown. David and Popcorn.
DeleteYour town is very lovely and from looking at a map I now know where it is in relation to Grimsby. Recently I’ve been re- reading some of your other blog and recalling your father’s days on the trawlers leaving from Grimsby.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments I'm pleased you liked the pictures. I'm pleased too that you're reading my other blog, thank you
DeleteSorry that I forgot to identify myself, David. It’s Ann.
DeleteI can usually tell when you comment as anonymous but as you had already left a comment on this post it didn't occur to me. I sometimes think about continuing with my 40's Boy blog with current things but, as I'm on my own now, I might find it too emotional. Take care Ann, David and Popcorn.
