| It's gonna coast a whole lot of money - the derelict smokehouse is to be renovated |
A NEW chapter is set to open in the life of a derelict building located in the part of Grimsby Docks known as The Kasbah.
Listed building consent has been granted for refurbishment of the Petersons fish processing and smoking factory on Henderson Street so that it can be reused in its original way.
Although in a rundown state, the building is Grade II listed because of its historic significance to Grimsby's fishing heritage.
As part of the same project, another premises - known as Building 89 (formerly Fred’s Fish) - which fronts on to Wharncliffe Road North will also be given a makeover, with creation of a ground-floor cafe which will be open to the public.
Its rear entrance opens on to Henderson Street directly opposite Peterson’s Smokehouse.
The application was unsuccessfully opposed by Grimsby Fish Dock Enterprises Ltd which argued that the renovation funds - which will be coming out of the public purse - would be better allocated by supporting existing fish curers and promoting the brand, Grimsby Traditional Smoked Fish.
