Here are my postcards of Grimsby, Lincolnshire covering buildings and structures as well as multi-view cards, with some comments about the scenes. Some images were in use over many years so dating the scene can be difficult. Click on the picture for a larger image (Alphabetical listing).
Black Swan Public House, Grimsby (at the corner of Victoria St and Flottergate).
A used postcard, postmark unreadable but probably around 1910.
This building with it's "1699" plaque was, when pictured, said to be the oldest house in Grimsby. It replaced an earlier Inn (built around 1650) and was demolished in the 1920s and replaced with another Pub. However, this also went the same way in the early 70s
