Grimsby, The Royal Dock c.1955
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Grimsby was once the world's largest fishing port, but the 'cod wars' ended that. This is truly a magnificently busy and marvellously nostalgic photograph, showing all types of fishing vessels and cranes, and the Victorian Dock Tower standing a majestic 309 feet over the busy port. The tower was built in 1852, and can be seen for many a mile. The first fish dock opened in 1856, and the Royal Dock was built between 1849 and 1852.
