History and Things To Do In Grimsby
History Of St James Hotel
The St James Hotel first opened its doors on Thursday the 28th of November in 1972 and was originally called the Crest Hotel! When the St James Hotel first opened, Grimsby was a thriving fishing port, being one of the busiest in the world! However, over the last 50 years the decline of the fishing industry has seen ports and docks being replaced with newer renewable energy industries. Yet, Grimsby’s fishing heritage still attracts many tourists to the area, with popular attractions being the Fishing Heritage Centre and the Ross Tiger (Trawler) and its docks.
