NEW LIFE AHEAD FOR GRIMSBY CLUB THAT ONCE SERVED PINTS OF BITTER AT BREAKFAST TIME


A NEW use beckons for a former licensed club on Grimsby Docks.

Named after a fish merchant, the late Terry Chapman, the TC Club began life in 1984 and was famed for its early opening hours - its licence allowed it to open at 6am!

It flourished for some 27 years, catering for thousands of dock workers and merchants with its popular cooked breakfasts, before closing in 2011 since when the premises have been empty.

However, as part of a wide conservation scheme for the area known colloquially as the kasbah, it has now been earmarked for change of use from club to offices, with an  and exhibition and meeting space.

The works proposed also include creation of a parking area and installation of a container.

On completion, the first-floor of the building will serve as the new studio for Hodson Architects, a firm currently operating from the old post office on Yarra Road in Cleethorpes.

The ground floor will become a multi-purpose gallery/exhibition and meeting space.
