North Somercotes played a large part in my growing up, I lived with my parents, sister and brother on the Lakeside Lido in St Annes Avenue, next to my friend Cherry Mayfield. I particularly remember when we both had chickenpox and our mothers ran a line through our bedroom windows so we could play noughts and crosses back and forth.

I wonder if anyone remembers Topliss, 16 Mercer Row? It was there until 1975 when it was taken over by Boyes. It was probably the last shop in Britain to have a "cash railway" for taking customers' payments to the cashier and returning the change. The money travelled in a hollow wooden ball, like a croquet ball cut... [more]

Since a very early age of about 4 I can rember very very happy happy thoughts about Trustville Holiday Camp. All of my family went there in June every year, in total there were about twenty of us.

I remember as a child in the early to mid 1960's taking many family holidays here in these wonderful bungalows. We spent many a day when it was raining playing Dominoes or Ludo as a family. My elder brother used to catch eels in the dyke that ran alongside of this place. I was very squeamish when he returned with them,... [more]

Extracts From North Somercotes & Lincolnshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about North Somercotes, inspired by Frith photos.
Things change during fifty years. This photograph proved it beyond any doubt as all this has gone, even the building which contained it. The demolition took place about five or six years ago, no one was quite sure when, but the one thing that was said positively was that the replacement is better!

Grimsby - A History and Celebration
These were built in the early 18th century with money bequeathed by Thomas Powis for the purpose. He was a vintner from Middlesex who had been born in Chepstow. The almshouses stand in what is now Bridge Street, on the site of a ruined medieval hospital.
