HARD EDGES WILL GIVE WAY TO SOFT CURVES IF SEAFRONT PROJECT GETS PLANNING THUMBS-UP

Waving goodbye to this . . .


. . . in favour of welcoming  this?

AN appointment  with the wrecking ball beckons for an historic property on Cleethorpes seafront.

The former Waves pub - along with the adjoining WCs and boathouse - have been earmarked for demolition.


Waves, now closed and boarded up, was previously known as The  Submarine. In earlier times, it was first The Bucket and Spade,  then The Establishment.

In the 1940s and 1950s, it was simply the Refreshment Rooms.

Assuming planning condition is granted, probably early in the New Year, the premises will make way for a new multi-functional development.

This will accommodate visitor facilities, modern toilets and changing facilities, beach safety and tourist information services. 

Additionally, a small events space will be created within Pier Gardens on the other side of the prom.


The revamp forms an important part of the ongoing work  to regenerate and revitalise Cleethorpes for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.
